                       LOCKJAW FATAL TO YOUNG PUPIL

    Clarence S. Walker, Who Fell And Broke Arm Monday, Died Yesterday

Clarence Sheldon Walker, eight years old, died yesterday morning at 9:30 
o'clock from tetanus, which resulted from a broken arm sustained last Monday 
at the noon recess at the Berkley ward graded school. 
Clarence and a couple of his little friends were amusing themselves when he 
fell and one of the small boys falling on him, caused a compound fracture of 
his right arm and the bones are said to have protruded through the skin.  
The little fellow was allowed to go home and at the time the teacher did not 
know the extent of his injuries.  She attempted to examine his arm, but he 
refused to allow her on account of the pain when she attempted to handle it.
The little fellow remained in this condition until his father, T.M. Walker, 
returned home in the evening when he was taken to the Lawford hospital, 
where the bones were set.  He was then taken to his home, 366 S. Main 
Street.
His condition grew worse and he was later removed to the hospital where he 
died yesterday.
The little fellow was born in Elizabeth City, N.C., and had come here with 
his father a few years ago.  The funeral will be conducted from the above 
residence Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock and the interment will be in 
Magnolia Cemetery.
