mercial avenue, who conducts a saloon at that number, was in court today to prosecute a case against W. J. Shedd, vice president .of the Knickerbocker Ice company whose automobile yesterday frightened a team attached to
the carriage In which he and three friends were driving to tho Holy Cross
cemetery in Hammond, as part of the
funeral cortege of the late Ludwig
Tuelioki, and was painfully surprised
to learn that Mr. Shedd had not even been arrested.
"Big Mike" was thrown out of the
carriage and sustained a severe con-
tussion cn his head when the horses were frightened at One Hundred and Second street and Indianapolis avenue
'sterday by Mr. Shedd's automobile.
and tho other three occupants of tho
carriage were more or less snaKon up. Mr. Siiedd and his driver were taken to the sixteenth precinct station by a police officer, and released after giving
their names and addresses to Lieutenant Ryan.
Ciecielski was represented in municipal court this morning by torney Julius Smietanki, who ready to put up a hard fight. Smietanki was much surprised learn that tho cose was not on
police docket. At tho sixteenth precinct police station tills morning denials were made that anybody was seriously hurt in yesterday's accident, and the story in a morning paper to the effect that the driver of the carriage sustained a fracture of one log was denounced as a rank fake. The practice in such cases is to take the name of the owner and driver of an automobile to
enable any aggrieved person to swear
out warrants.
