thinks the free coinage Of silver on the

THREE BICYCLES COLLIDED
Harry B. Cox Badly Wounded and
His Death May Result.
He and II. s. Mafchett Were wheeling
Down Ninth Street and Were Run
Into by an Unknown Rider

Harry B. Cox, OF No. 1413 Eighth street
northwest, was seriously, perhaps fatally,
injured in q collision of three bicyclists on
O'Clock this afternoon.
Young Cox and his friend, H. Matchett,
of No. 616 NJ street northwest, were riding
down Ninth street at a moderate gait.
While crossing G street another bicyclist
came around the corner at terrific pace,
running into them. The collision threw
all three of the riders, but the unkno wn rider
was apparently unin1ured, and without
noting the damage and injury he had
wrought, jumped on his wheel and hastily
rode away.
Both Matchett ard Cox were dazed by the
unexpected and terrific COLLISION. Matchett
was the first to recover, and hastened to his
stunned companion, who lay half way
across the sidewalk with his head against
a large stone, which had cut n hole in his
forehead just above the right eye. When
picked up he was unconscious.
Mr.. Matchett, who was seemingly u min
jured save severe Sha keup. had his friend
taken to the drug store on the scorner of
Ninth and F streets, where he was given
attention.
After receiving temporary treatment at
tNe drug store he spoke few words in
said:
"Idon't remember how it happened. It's
gptting dark" With this he fell back
and spoke no more before being removed
to the hospital.
The scalp wound over the right eye
is a CHASTITY one, and clotted blood spurt-
ed therefrom as the unfortunate young
man was waiting for the patrol wagon.
His right shoulder was out of position and
he was other " ise bruised.
Mr.. Cox is twenty years old and resides
with his parents at the address given above
Mr.. Matchett, when asked for a statement.
said: The law requires bicyciists not to
exceed the liIIit of uine miles per hour. We
were not making six miles an hour when
this unknown man ran into us and left
without even ascertaining whether we were
injured. His speed was Just about the
maximum. his recklcssuess far above the
average rider.
He was rather inhuman not to care for
anything except. his own personal safety
and escape. Harry is seriously injured
and may die at any moment. really dom t
know whether L am hurt OF not. When I
awoke from the shock of the collision the
unknown was riding away at a rapid gait''
Both bicycles were smashed to pieces.
The diagonal position, of the wheel of the
unknown rider saved his machine from
injury.
