LEONARD REEL, 5-year-old-son of John Reel, residing along the Western Pike at Conococheague, died at the Washington County Hospital from injuries received when he was struck by an automobile in front of his home this morning. The childs ribs were crushed and he suffered internal injuried.
Crossing the pike to give a letter to the mail carrier on that route, the child darted back across the road directly in the path of a machine driven by a man from Washington, and was knocked under the car. He was rushed at once to the hospital where he died about a half hour later.
