ELVIN DEBORD AUTO VICTIM.
Lad Struck by Car on Market Street and Dies on Way to Hospital.
Elvin DeBord, son of Mrs. W. C. Little, 1561 Market street, and stepson of Mr. Little, died while being taken to the hospital late yesterday after he had been run down by an automobile driven by R. A. Looney, 795 D Street. The accident happened between 5:30 and 6 o’clock in front of the Little home.
The boy was rolling a hoop across the street when struck by the automobile. The police report is that as the automobile approached, Robert Randolph, a playmate of the DeBord lad, called a warning to him, causing him to start to run across the street and that this apparently confused Mr. Looney who turned his car across the street in the same direction the boy was going. A fender of the automobile struck the lad, throwing him into the curb, resulting in the injuries which caused his death. Looney reported to the police. The body of the boy was taken to the Terwilliger funeral home. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
