- Hit And Run Victim
Rice McNulty, farmer residing in Brookfield, was painfully injured last night about 8 o'clock on the highway in the 500 block on South Main street.
McNulty was found in an unconscious condition on the pavement badly bruised with severe head injuries and a broken left leg. All indications pointed to a hit and run drive accident.
Drs. J.T. McLarney and J.L. Pierce were called to the scene and administered first aid, and later calling the Hunter & Rollins ambulance, which took McNulty to the Brookfield hospital.
A call to Dr. McLarney's office today revealed Mr. McNulty's condition still serious.
