Albert Bradshaw and John Tannin who were injured in the accident caused by their horses taking fright at a passing automobile near Greenwood cemetery last' night, are still at St. Margaret's hospital. Both men will recover from their injuries although for some time last night it was thought that Bradshaw would die. Nothing more has been heard of ,uc i 'ixC m auLuwuime at , mini the norses tooic ingnt. iney never stopped to look after the injured men but hurried on their way eastward. Four people, two men and two women were in the car, which had a red body. Bradshaw's home is at Hebron, Ind., where he lives with Charles McGill. Tannin's home is in 3011 Indiana avenue, Chicago. Both men were employed at Gary, and late in the afternoon started for Hammond. When McGiil called up from Hebron I last night he expressed surprise that Bradshaw should have gone to Hammond when he was employed at Gary. Chief Rimbach was at the hopsital last night and after watching the two men he came to the conj elusion that they must have been drinking on their way from Gary to Hammond.

was an eye witness to the accident, said last night that the horses became frightened as the machine approached them. They began to run. The wagon pole fell from the neck yoke and plowed into the macadam. As it became stuck i nthe road it broke off and the two men went high in the air. The horses turned again east after they had torn loose from the wagon and followed the automobile. They galloped from the viaduct near Hessville to Black Oak where the were caught by the Kortenhoever brothers. Carter and Officer Hanlon went to the scene of the accident last night and from there they went to Black Oak where they took charge of the horses. WRECK NARROWLY AVERTED. The car which leaves Hammond for Chicago at 3:13 had a narrow escape yesterday afternoon. When the car reached 106th street at South Chicago, the conductor ran ahead to see if the way was clear. As soon as the motorman saw the conductor run ahead, he started the car and had it part way on the track when he noticed a passenger train coming. He reversed the lever and drew back in the nick of time. Next time he may not be so lucky and there will , be another report of a bad wreck at lOGth street. W. F. BRIDGE A DELEGATE. W F.

10 DIANAP0L1S BY TROLLEY GAR Completion of Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Road Gives Connection. AKES SOLID LINK TO CHICAGO Connection of Hammond and Michi gan City Last Stretch in the Roadway. Direct trolley connection between Hammond and Indianapolis is now assured since the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Railroad com pany has been organized and received the desired francnise in Hammond and the other citiea along its line The gap between Michigan City and Chicago will be the last to be closed. The Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Railway company has been organized for this purpose but as yet the line is only on paper. It seems assured, however, that field operation will begin soon. The Uinois Central will complete the line from Hammond northwest to Kensington, where connections will be made with the Central tracks for a continuous route into Chicago. The Illinois Central is bound by rafic agreements not to build east of the Illinois and Indiana state line and this accounts for the incorporation of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend railway to build the road east of Hammond. Leaving Hammond the road will run eastward into Gary, crocsing the Grand Calumet river jus? before en-

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS Items of Interest Both to Passengers and Employes. Because of friction among the directors of the Winona Railway Company over the Sunday traffic it is predicted by E. F. Yarnelle, of Fort Wayne, that the Winona Assembly company will retire from the railroad business. It is not improbable that Winona will in the end sell out the line and there i3 a rumor that the Northern Railroad company is not an improbable buyer, should a deal be made. A prominent railway man has made the prediction that the result will be the Northern Indiana campany will finally operate the Goshen-Warsaw line. tering the town. From Gary east to Dune park the electric line will practically parallel The tracks of the Lake Shore and Mr higiJi Southern ridlroad. From Dun park to Michigan City the route of the road will lie between the tracks of the Michigan Central and the shore of Lake Michigan, from which feature the ! company takes part of its name. The j route from Michigan City to South Bend Is almost due east.
