Lad Suffers Triple Injuries Within Three Minutes

Columbus. O., June 25. — Daniel Sul­livan’s right leg was broken three times within three minutes.

Returning home from a picnic he fell off the wagon and a front wheel ran over his leg snapping it. He at­tempted to crawl out between the wheels and the rear wheel ran over the leg, again breaking it. Then the farmer backed the wagon and the rear wheel again ran over Daniel’s leg, breaking it again for the third time.
