TIPPING OF SEAT On Wagon Precipitates William Zwick, Driver, to Frozen Road on Head. AT RAPID RATE I ; Were Horses Going—Gash Cut in Head and Bruised —Narrow Escape. William Zwick, of the firm of Gay. Zwick & Myers, had a narrow escape from breaking his neck Tuesday. He had driven out to deliver a load ol furniture and, wrapped up cosily and “snug as a bug In a rug" in the robes, was driving along merrily on his home trip, the horses going at a rate of four or five miles an hour. Suddenly the seat tipped in such away : that Mr. Zwick was thrown off and | out of the wagon directly on his head j on the frozen gravel road. As he was ; wrapped tightly in the robes, he was i unable to catch himself in any way, or save himself from tne full force of the fall, and it was lucky that he escaped breaking his neck. A gash was cut in his head and he was badly bruised in other ways, but was able to pick himself up and return to this cit v ; and today was at work again as usual, j - ■ O' — — — - - HOSPITALS CROWDED. Fort Wayne Institutions Have Difficulty in Caring for Patients. Sickness of one sort or another has Fort Wayne by the throat at present and the hospitals are working overtime. Likewise are the doctors, nurses and druggists. The severity of the weather brought on numerous cases of pneumonia and more indirectly a good many cases of typhoid, besides any number of lesser illnesses, such as bronchitis and tonsilitis. One man who sought admittance for his mother, who was suffering from pneumonia, was refused admittance at two hospitals, and finally succeeded in obtaining a room at a third institution because a patient was leaving that afternoon. At St. Joseph's and the Lutheran hospitals all rooms are filled and cots line the halls, and conditions are simitar at the Hope hospital. A nurse at cr.e hospital is quoted as say ing that a night or two ago she had twenty-five patients and three babies to attend to.” —Fort Wayne News. WATCH FOR THE CROOK.
