TIED SLED TO TROLLEY CAR

Three Indiana Youths With Bobsled Outdo Peer Gynt’s Sensational Ride on a Deer. Elkhart, Ind. —Peer Gynt’s sensational ride on a mountain deer was a Pullman coach trip compared with the ride of three Elkhart lads on a bobsled which they attached to a southbound interurban car the other evening. The rope caught and they could not unfasten it. The car gained speed and the boys accumulated chills as they passed Prairie street and Indiana avenue and some other things they could not describe. Near station No. 19, and after a wild ride of a .mile, the sled upset and the boys were skidded over the ice-covered ground. Marion Schooley, son of J. W. 'Schooley, of No. 222 Hickory streets was injured, the ligaments of his right shoulder being badly torn. His companions escaped serious injury.
