Editor of The Tribune
Sir:-An article appeared in your paper
Friday morning concerning a collision of
a South Side car with a butcher wagon
owned by the undersigned. The article,
which was under the head of South Side
news. stated that the horse was driven by
my younger brother and that Motorman
Gallagher and the new man who manned
the car applied the brakes. but owing to
the slippery condition of the rails were
unable to stop the car In time to prevent
the accident. This report was erroneous
and false, as Motorman Gallagher was
seated inside the car interested in one of
the morning papers when the car collided
with my wagon. The rails were not slip
perry by any means and bystanders who
saw the accident will bear me out in this
] can secure six witnesses who will testi-
fy to the above statement, three of them
We're passengers on the car when the acci-
dent occurred.
This article was not written with a ma
hcious intent but TO let the readers of
your excellent paper see the natter in Its
true light. as II was impossible for me to
avoid the accident. Thomas Murray.
