- Son of W. F. HICKS Run Down by Machine of Farm and Ranch Tour Party.
- Dallas, Texas. - Watching the passing of the automobiles returning to Dallas from the Farm and Ranch tour, little Earl HICKS, slightly more than 4 years old, was struck down and instantly killed Saturday morning near the Miller's Ferry bridge, five miles south of Dallas.
- According to the father of the child, W. T. HICKS, a tenant farmer, living near the spot where the accident occurred, the driver of the machine that struck the boy did not stop, and several other machines passed in the cloud of dust before anyone stopped to offer aid.
- W. T. HICKS said: "I had been working in ??????? two boys, 6 and ?? years old, in my field opposite the place where Earl was struck down. We had crossed to Ed HANLON'S house to get a drink of water and were at his gate talking when the automobiles began to pass. They raised a great deal of dust and were roaring as they passed. Earl started to cross the road once and I yelled to him to wait. I turned around and was talking to HANLON and another man, when I realized that Earl had again left me. I turned around just in time to see him hurled to one side by a passing automobile."
- Immediately after the accident the Sheriff's office in Dallas was notified and deputy, Elmo STRAIT was put to work on the case. He went to the cafe where the drivers went for lunch and questioned them, but could not obtain any information. It is thought on account of the dust those immediately behind the car that killed the child did not know that an accident had occurred.
