JOHN TRULLEY GETS RIGHT LEG BROKEN

Young Map Riding Motorcycle Collided With Auto Driven By Roselawn Merchant.

John Trulley, an insurance agent for the Scranton Life, son of Anton Trulley, of Barkley township, suffered a fractured leg Monday afternoon at about 4 o’clock, when a motorcycle on which he was riding collided with an automobile driven by J. J. Mulder, the Roselawn merchant. The accident occurred at a turn in the road about four miles from Roselawn.

Young Trulley, according to his statement, had his machine on the right side of the road, hut states that Mr. Mulder became confused and ‘steered Ins, car on the wrong side. Mr. Mulder was deeply grieved at the accident and hurried to Roselawn with Trulley and sent him to Rensselaer on the milk train, telephoning to have Dr. Gwin meet him at the train. Investigation proved that John had suffered a bad fracture of the tibia or large bone of the right leg. The fracture was just below the knee joint and extended into the knee. John was taken to the home of Mrs. Gleason, Cullen and Angelica streets, where he has stopped when in this city. He is about 21 years of age. The injury will lay him up for some time.
