A Peculiar Accident.

VIM. Petty, a carpenter aged sixty
four, and living in Pleasant Valley. met
with an unusual accident this morning.
About 10 O'Clock q farmers wagon was
being driven down Moline avenue. A
man named John Mcdonald was driving.
and seated in the seat with him was John
Iugwall, while Mr.. Petty and John Carr
were seated in the rear end of the wagon,
their feet hanging over the end board.
The wagon was being driven on the left
hand track of the Moline IL Rock Island
railway lines, while ear No. 20, OF the
Union branch. Ed. Ward driver. was
coming down tine right track and but a
few feet back of the wagon. When
Twentyssixth street was reached, the
horses were turned abruptly into that
street and so suddenly that not only did
the wagon barely escape collision with
the car. but Petty was thrown out of the
wagon and before Driver Ward could
wind up his brake and stop his car, his
horse had stepped on him and the car
passed partially over him. The car was
stopped as soon as possible. and the man
extricated from his position and taken
into butcher shop near by. DIR. Barth
was summoned, and found a rib frac>
tured, but no other apparent or serious
injuries sustained, nor visible marks of
the car wheel. So it is probable that
the fracture was caused in falling or by
the horses hoof.
One Of the men in the wagon thinks
Petty jumped when he saw his danger,
but the latter does not say whether he
did or not. To drive thus suddenly
across track in front of an approaching
car, especially one that IS coming
down a slight incline as it was then, is a
reckless act, and might have resulted
even more seriously.

assuming the man was not killed, the effect
would be slow carbonizing of the victim.
