HIS SKULL FRACTURED
    John Connolly, aged 18, of 108 Agawam street, is in St. John's hospital with a fractured skull and may die as the result of a collision with an auto truck at 7 o'clock this morning on Meadowcroft street. His name is on the dangerous list. The truck is registered to and was driven by John J. McCullough of Gorham street.
   According to the story told by the police young Connolly was riding a bicycle down St. James street. He turned into Meadowcroft street and was going at a fairly good rate of speed. McCullough was driving his truck down Meadowcroft street and the two vehicles collided.
   Connolly was thrown to the ground and received multiple injuries. Mr. McCullough gave the boy what aid he was able to and the ambulance was called. Connolly was rushed to the hospital in an unconscious condition and an immediate operation was ordered in an attempt to save his life.
   At press time Connolly had not recovered from the effects of the ether, but his name is on the dangerous list and while physicians are hopeful for his recovery it is doubtful if he can survive his injuries.
