Freeport Lad Killed
While Hitching On Auto
Third   Tragic   Death   of   Young In a Short While
Boys
Wednesday shortly before noon, Marshall, the IU year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Phineas Golden of 40 Brook lyn Avenue, was instantly killed while riding on his sled in back of an auto truck. He was one of sevecal lads in hack of the truck traveling on Main Street when a°ii auto passed, going in the Opposite direction. Young Gol¬ den swerved in front of the oncoming car and rnn right into its rear wheel, which struck him and knocked hibi away avid passed on, the driver appar¬ ently, according to e.ye witnesses, not being aware of the tragedy in which he had been an actor.
A doctor was hastily summoned but he found that death had been almost instantavieous, and young Marshall evidently never knew what struck him.
This is the third tragic death of boys about this age in the past few weeks, one from drowning while skat¬ ing, one from a twig entering a lad's brain through h'^ nose, and now thia one as a result of this lamentable a^- cident. A sister of the young lad died a few weeks ago.
