HIS NECK WAS RACTIRE DIED ON THE WAY TO THE GENERAL HOSPITAL. Wad a Son of Frederick C. Belwa, 143 Montreal Street--An Inquest May be Held by Coroner Mundell. Frederick Douglas Belwa, aged three years and seven months, sou of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick C. Belwa, 143 Montreal street, had his neck broken and met death when an auto- mobile driven by James Summer- ville, of Morton, struck him shortly after noon on Tuesday. The little lad was playing on the road with some other children in front of Paul Paquin, 125 Montreal street, across the street frem the entrance to the House of Providence, when the accident occurred. Mr. Summerville was driving his car on the right side of the street towards Princess street; but as he neared the children he turned to the left im order to pass another car that was going in the same direction In doing =o it appears that he did not see the little lad playing on the road, and drove straight into him. The youngster, who was running to- wards the walk to get ont of the way of the car, was struck by the mudguard on the left temple, break- ing the tiny neck. The lad's mother, who was standing at her door seve- ral houses up the street, saw her child fatally injured. She gave an agonized scream and fainted away. This brought her husband, who is engaged in nght work at the. loco- motive works, and who was sleeping in one of the upstairs rooms, to the scene. The youngster, who gave no signs of life, was picked up by Edward Frasso, 296 Montreal street, and the little form was handed to the father. who drove to the General Hospital in O. Eves' taxi. The child was ex- amined by Dr. I. G Bogart, who found that the little boy 'had died before he reached the institution. Meanwhile Mr. Summerville, who had driven some twenty yards ahead of where the accident happened, re- turned to the scene, and then went to the police station and the affair. The lad was bright and cheery. Besides his parents there are two children surviving. Mr. Summerville, whose car hit the boy, was coming into the city with his uncle, who is over seventy years of age, and who is undergoing medi- cal treatment here. Mr. Summerville stated that he did not see the hoy on the roadway, and that he did mot know he had hit any person until hé saw the youngster on the fender, At 3 o'clocke it was not known as to whether there would be an inquest or not. Mr. Summerville went to see Dr. D, E. Mundell, coroner to reported the coromer will then decide as to whether or mot an inquest will be held. BY DAUGHTER AS THAT OF MRS. W. J.
