DR. SHARRER IMPROVING IN BENTON HARBOR HOSPITAL

Dr. J. C. Sharrer, whose automobile was struck~'at Galien, Michigan, by the Michigan Central flyer which was running over an hour late and annihilating distance at the rate of over sixty miles an hour when the came, will recover from his in-; 1 juries. This is the cheerful informa-, tion that comes from the hospital to his friends here. He has a broken! hip, fractured -collar bone, punctured I lung caused by broken ribs and other minor injuries, but nevertheless he says he will be .back to resume his' practice in September. According to the newspaper re-‘ ports, the doctor exercised caution while attempting to cross the tracks at Galien. The view there is obstructed much like it is here —an elevator on one side and a string of cars on the - other side of the street. 4)r. Sharrer slowed down his car to observe his safety, but by the time he had shifted his gears and reached the main track the flyer had covered almost a fourth of a mile and the accident happened.—Francesville Tribune. ,
