June
25, 1910 – While riding in an automobile on Grand Ave. in
Duluth, Mrs. David Graham, wife of Dr. Graham, was struck in the head by a
stone thrown from the street and was rendered unconscious for more than an
hour.
The boy who threw the stone was playing in the street a short distance from his home. Mrs. Graham was hurried to her home, where she was given medical attention. Delirious for a time, she was resting easier this evening.
The stone inflicted an ugly wound on the side of her head.
Had the driver been hit instead of the woman, a more serious accident would have occurred, as the vehicle would have undoubtedly run wild until it smashed into something.
