TYRONE BOY DIES OF FRACTURED SKULL

Leroy E. Waite, Whose Bicycle Ran Into a Stone Wall, Dies at the Altoona 
Hospital

  LeRoy Ellsworth Waite, a school boy aged 8 years, residing at 113 West 
Fourteenth street, Tyrone, died at the Altoona hospital at 8 o'clock last 
evening of a fractured skull, sustained on Sunday afternoon, when the bicycle he 
was riding crashed into a stone wall.
  The boy was admitted into [sic] an unconscious condition to the institution at 
6:40 o'clock last evening and never regained consciousness.  It was at first 
thought that he had suffered only a bad bump to the head and for this reason he 
was not taken to the hospital until he became seriously ill and lapsed into 
unconsciousness.
