Alfred Quinn Injured When Struck By Automobile.

While standing on the street in front of the Myers pool room about 5 o’clock Tuesday evening, Alfred Quinn, who resides in the York property on Milroy avenue, was struck by an automobile belonging to the Hopkins Transfer Company, driven by Mrs. Earl Clouse. Quinn was knocked down and suffered a broken rib and was quite severely bruised about the body. He was taken to the hospital. . .... Mr. Quinn was standing with his back to the approaching machine and was waving at a friend who was passing by. Just as the machine came up even with him he took a step forward with the result mentioned above. Just who was at fault, the driver of the machine or Mr. Quinn, we are unable to state, blit it is probable that one - was as much to blame as the other.
