Durham, Oct. 25 — Edward, the little son of Rev. and Mrs. T.A. SMOOT, while playing in a small automobile with several companions, fell out of the machine and was caught by the neck between the sharp sides of the tin portion of the car. Had he not been quickly rescued and given medical attention he would have died, for as he hung, he was rapidly choking to death.
