"A very sad and serious accident happened to a little boy some five or six years old, named Willie Ambrose, who lives with his parents in Dale Street. He was returning home from school on Wednesday afternoon, and upon arriving at the level crossing in Duke Street, close to his home, the little fellow started to cross just as a train was passing. The engine knocked him down, and ran over his legs, cutting them both off just above the knee. He was immediately conveyed to the Infirmary, where everything that medical skill could devise was done for the unfortunate little sufferer, but he lies in very precarious condition."
