Trinidad Youth Fatally Injured In Fall From Car
----------
Henry Sells
of Trinidad was fatally injured at about 9:30
o'clock Sunday night when he fell out of an
automobile in which he and two other Trinidad
youths were riding through Cedar Creek bottom.
The three boys had been to the city and were
enroute to their home in Trinidad when the
accident occurred. Sells was said to have been
standing up between the seats of the car, and old
model Chevrolet touring car without a top, and
was cautioned by his comrades several times to
sit down before he fell out. When the car rolled
onto the bridge in Cedar bottom a sudden bump
caused him to pitch headlong out of the vehicle.
He landed on the floor of the bridge head first
and slid along the rough boards bruising his
right shoulder.
The injured boy was picked up in an unconscious
condition, by his companions and taken to the
office of L. W. Pulley at Trinidad but the blow
on the head had placed the boy's condition beyond
medical aid, for when reaching the office he was
in a dying condition and blood was gushing out of
his mouth and his left ear. Dr. J. A. Fowler and
Constable A. W. Leopard of Malakoff were called
by Dr. Pulley shortly after the party had reached
his office. The injured youth died, without
regaining consciousness, about 11 o'clock.
