Run Down by a Bicyclist.

New York, 1895

Howard Hewlett, aged 9 years, son of Judge Van Wyck Hewlett, of Woodsburg, lies in a critical condition as the result of injuries sustained by being knocked down by a bicyclist. The accident happened several days ago, but all efforts to ascertain the name of the bicyclist have failed.
