JUMPED FROM AUTO; JAW BONE BROKEN

Chicago Man, Frightened at High Speed, Leaps From Auto With Disastrous Results. •; . < V Arnold Hessing, a Chicago tailor about 30 years old, passed through Rensselaer yesterday afternoon with a party of six in a large automobile bound for the races at Indianapolis. About six miles south of toyn, while going at a high rate of speed, and presumably attempting to pass another auto, their car ' skidded. Hessing was riding in a small seat attached to the side of the car. He was not used to such high speed, and becoming nervous, as the car skidded, he 'jumped from the seat. He alighted on the right side of his face, breaking the jaw bone in the middle. The accident happened about 4 p. m. The car returned to Rensselaer, where the injuries of the young man were attended to. An anaesthetic was necessary to relieve his pain. The dislocated jaw was wired together and set and left in good shape, but it will be necessary for him to remain in a hospital some time before his injuries are healed. His companions, were very reluctant about giving details of the accident and seemed disappointed when told that he could not remaih in the hospital here until the traces of his injuries disappeared. They seemed desirous "that knowledge of his injuries be kept from his family. One of the men accompanied him to Chicago on the Hoosier Limited in the evening, and the rest of the party resumed their journey in the car.#*..
