charged.
MT. George McTaggarL who was nurt
n the eft hip was seen al Slis residence,
80 South Market street, last night. He
gave out some interesting facts. He said
that ne, his wife and son were in front
o. Edward Walls store on Douglas ave-
nue.. waiting 10 secure a conveyance 10
take them 10 the Wild West exhibition.
There were several wagons there but the
one owned by the Wilson brothers was
reaCiy filed and as they were anxious 70
get there and did not want 70 wait for
the other vehicles to fill up, he asked
Wilson if there was room for two more.
Wilson said there was. Mrs. McTaggars
and her son got II, sitting side by side
and Immediately next 10 the entrance.
Nh McTaggart got up on the seat with
the driver He was on the north side
he talked with the driver along the route
until they reached the Carey hotel when
the other WILSON VINO mad been collect
ing came forward and got On the seat,
getting between M McTaggart and the
driver, his brother Mr.. McTaggart said
That the driver had control OF his horses
and was not driving at any great rate Of
speed He was quite put out over some
remarks made as 20 the sobriety Of the
driver. He said that he had not been
drinking at all. He also repudiated the
statements made that the accident was
caused by any careIesSness upon the part
OF the Wilson's. Mr.. NcTagEart said that
the train was upon them before Trey hard
~ realized it The first time he saw the
engine was when they were within fifteen
1eet OF the track. Wilson could not see
the approaching train as he was seated
on the south side and could not have seen
through both his brother and himself
There was great deal OF noise but he
does not remember of having heard any
one hallowing 10 them, although he says
there may have been. He said that a
team whom he thinks belonged to Mr..
Howard mad just passed them on the
south side. This OF itself was enough 70
attract the attention of the driver and
divert any thought Of an incoming train.

his feeling when he saw the train upon
them and after it had nit the wagon. He
thought that his wife and son had been
ground TO pieces. He was thrown into
the air and hit the pavement. He was
dazed for a few seconds but jumped Up
and went to look for his folks. They
were taken home by Mr. Miller.
Mrs. McTaggart and her son were sit
ting on the south side Of the carryalI and
saw the engine approaching. At that time
the horses were well over the track Her
son caught her about the waist and they
both Jumped, lighting on their feet, unin-
Jured.
Mr.. MCTaggart was considerably worse
yesterday. He had expected 10 be at his
place OF business Wednesday but his leg
and hip are so badly bruised that he can
scarcely get around. He felt considerable
pain u the head last night. II will prob
ably be several days before he viii be
able TO get down town. Neither Nj or
Mrs. McTaggart heard any whistle or bell
but Mr.. McTaggart said that the noise
was so great that It could have been ring
ing any they not nave heard It.
Mrs. c. ". Jones was resting as easily
p,
be AT least six weeks before she will be
able to get out, and possibly longer.
Mrs. Durrand, of S39 South Lawrence,
vas sad last night to be in a critical
condition. but not necessarily fatal Mr.
Durrand is suffering a great deal OF pain
and while his case is not fatal he is SER
i7usly injured.
By those competent to judge the Rock
Island VIII probably have settlements and
damage suits on their hands ID the extent
OF SIe0 600. None place their liability az
less than $1,000 and most Of them go over
Sl00.ooo. No settlements have as yet been
made. L seemed 70 be the general opin-
ion that Mrs. Jones would likely have the
strongest case for heavy damages. This
may seem paradoxical in view Of the fact
that four have been killed bur il is the
talk among legal lights.
