Two Passengers . Laid Up and Thirty Frightened When Motorman on Green Line Misjudges Distance to Turn.

Thirty passengers on a Green line car, leaving: Hammond at 6 o'clock this morning and headed toward East Chicago, were thrown into a panic at the corner of One Hundred and - Fiftieth street and Forsythe avenue, when the car, taking the curve at a high rate of speed, nearly left tlie track and threw many of the passengers out of their seats. Among: those who were injured were John Rudnik of 7S State street, a plumber at tho GrasseKl works, and his helper, Ernest McCoy.-who lives at the same address. Both were laid up with their iniuries today, Rudnik having sustained a laceration of his left hand, which was forced through a window pane, and McCoy complaining of Injuries about his head and back. General anager Green "of the street car line, stated to The Times jhls forenoon that he had received no report of such an occurrence, nor had his office been a-ble to verify it up to this noon. General Manager Green of the street 78 State street, by a Times' reporter, and showed a bandaged hand as a result of the accident. Speaking of the accident. Rudnik said: "There were about thirty passengers in the car, all men, I believe. I was sitting well up in front, with Ernest McCoy occupying the aisle seat. Suddenly the car leaned to one side. I thought it was going over. I . was : pitched out of my seat past McCoy and into the seat across the aisle. I was tnrown with such force that my hand struck the window and broke it. h, ; I ws,dazed ior a while, but I heard th otaVnTaaioliier Inland say. that .he M sorry this had happened and that he . had thought that we were still about ttiree- blocks 'from the curve. Somebody wrapped up my bleeding

band, and I was taken to the office of Dr. F. U. Townsley, in the Calumet building, who dressed my hand. "I guess It was a good thing for the motorman that he did not argue , very much with his passengers, because some of them were pretty "sore. What they said wasn't fit for a lady to hear. He. bore the number 155 on his cap." . . At the car barns it was said that this number belonged to Motorman Han1 lin, and that he was supposed to have been in charge of -the. car. The only explanation that could be given for the accident is the fact that the car was running late and therefore fast, and that in the darkness the motorman had misjudged the distance to the curve.

His arms were In a vice like grip, and an elbow under his chin threatened to choke him. HIT IN FACE. Another man, a stranger to him, ap proached him from the front, coming from he did not know where, and hit him a smashing blow in the face. While the first 'highwayman held the victim the second fellow snatched his watch and with lightning rapidity went through his pockets. Failing to find what he was looking for he grabbed a bundle wrapped in a newspaper which Franklin carried under his arm. This contatned the $1,100, mostly pa per and silver currency. Not one of the trio spoke a word during tne whole transaction. Franklin was too dazed by the blow he had received to resist much. He heard the man in front of him say "shy" to his partner, and at this both ran away, running east on Ogden street.
