Valparaiso Man Falls Out Of Berth on Train.

Dr. F. W. Mitchell, of Valparaiso, who boarded a Monon train at Hammond last Thursday night for the races at Indianapolis on the following day, met with a peculiar accident enroute which prevented him from seeing the races. He returned to Valparaiso after having been in the care of a specialist tor several days. . The doctor was on a Monon train and occupied an upper berth in one of the sleepers. In the early morning, when attempting to alight from the berth, the train gave a sudden lurch as it rounded one of the short curves for which the Monon is noted, throwing him violently to the floor of the car, breaking his left wrist bruising his head severely, and causing other minor injuries. Dr. Mitchell returned to Chicago Friday and remained there in the care of a specialist until Wednesday morning. He thought for a day or two that he would be com»pelled to give up a European trip which he bad planned, but now expects to be in New York city in time to sail on the 10th inst„ as at first scheduled: His only bother now is the fear that his injury may not improve rapidly enough for him to take the special course In his profession in Europe, for which he has already arranged. His brother, of Marietta, 0., will accompany him on the trip.
