The above lads, in company with several other boys, saw an automobile approach from the east and all stood against the right wing wall on the east side of the bridge. A large touring car came toward them at a good rate of speed and for some reason or other the driver of the car ran off the con- crete and into the boys. As a result young Shutter had both legs broken above the ankles and Miller was injured internally. Dr. W. M. Thome of this place, attended them and they were immediately re- moved to the General Hospital in the ambulance, Miller is getting along very nicely and is not injured as bad- ly as was at first reported. He is a grandson of Rev. Miller, of Florin. After the accident occurred the dri- ver of the car which struck the boys, stopped his machine several hundred yards beyond the bridge and returned rendering what assistance he could. He said he was H. B. Miller of North Fifth street, Columbia and the license tags on his car corresponded with his statement. It was reported and many witnesses claim Miller was intoxicated. Wheth- er or not this was true we would not say but he was driving his car in a very reckless manner. Several state policemen came here Saturday and investigated the acci- dent.
