FIVE FRACTURES
---------
Bryan Allison Falls from a Tree and Breaks His Thigh and Both Arms.
As a result of a distressing accident yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock Bryan Allison, the 9 year-old-son of Capt. J. A. Allison, a conductor on the Southern Railway, lies at the point of death.
Bryan, accompanied by several other boys, left his home on West Trade street just below the Southern depot, and went down the extension of West Trade in search of hickory nuts.
Finding a hickory tree near Irwin's creek half a mile from home, Bryan had climbed about 30 feet from the ground when the limb to which he was holding broke and he fell to the ground.
The boy struck a pile of rocks and sustained five fractures. His left thigh was broken and both his right and left arms were broken in two places each; at the wrists and near the shoulders. His companions summoned aid and Bryan was taken home, in a small hand wagon, by Mr. Ernest S. Williams.
Physicians who were with the injured child most of the night stated that his condition was desperate.
Capt. Allison was not in town last night, but is expected to arrive this morning.

BRYAN ALLISON DIES
Bryan Allison, the 9-year-old son of Capt. T. J. Allison who fell from a tree Friday and sustained five fractures, died yesterday morning at 3:30 o'clock. The funeral services will take place at the residence this morning at 9:30 and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. H. F. Chreitzberg, pastor of Tryon Street Methodist church.
The grief of the bereaved parents was not lessened by the fact that Capt. Allison the father of the boy, did not reach the city until some hours after Bryan's death. He was a bright, lovable little fellow and his tragic end is strangely sad.
