LITTLE BOY RUN DOWN.

Hurt by Pair of Mules Driven by Negro.

Special to The State.
Orangeburg, April 8. – Tom VanOrsdell, a young son of C. M. VanOrsdell of this city, was injured this morning by coming in contact with two mules hitched to a wagon. Although he received many bruises, his injuries are not serious. The accident seems to have been the result of careless driving on the part of the negro in the wagon, who did not stop to see what extent the little fellow was injured. The negro was arrested and placed in the guard house.

The State, Columbia, SC 9 Apr 1911
