n Hack. Way Recover.

Further particulars concerning the seri-
Gus accident which befen Archie McVio-
ar. a resident of this city. while in Hutch
inson Wednesday last, and Of which a
brief account appeared in yesterday s
Eagle, are given in the Hutchinson News
as follows:
Mr.. McVicar was in Hutchinson Wed
nesday taking an examination before the
state board of pharmacy and started in a
hack for the evening Missouri Pacific
train on his way home In the hack also
were Mrs. VIM. Shade and child, VINO
were to take the train for Mt. Hope.
When the driver reached the depot he
stepped to the ground 10 open the hack
door, and at that instant an engine near
by let off steam. The team frightened and
wheeled about quickly. starting north on
Main street at a rapid pace. The driver
held to the reins and was dragged for
some distance, but was unable to stop the
team. When the team had run about a
block McVicar jumped out. Mrs. Shade
says that the door swung and struck him
and that he was thrown under the hack
Mrs. Shade then jumped out with her
child and was unconscious when found
but not seriously hurt. Mr.. McVicar was
picked up near the curbing apparently
Iifeless He was suffering from concus-
sion of the brain. He was taken TO the
Midland hotel where he was attended
during he night by DR.. Mann and Dr.
Colladay.
This morning the condition Of Mr.. Nc
Vicar appeared to be more hopeful. but It
could not be told how the case would turn.
He recognized friends at different times
but remembered nothing about the acct
dent last night. Mr.. Charles Lawrence,
another druggist OF Wichita, was in the
city and stayed with McVicar during the
night, and everything possible was done
for the young mans comfort.
1t is said that Mrs. Shade. who was IN
the accident. had been visiting with the
McPherin sisters at Sol North Monroe
for the past ten weeks, and was Just
starting upon her return home At first
it was thought that she was seriously
hurt, but it proved she had only few
scratches and a sprained ankle. Her child
is only a few weeks old. and was consid-
erably hurt. out will recover, it is
thought Mrs. Shade is the wife OF VIM.
Shade, a Missouri Pacific operator at Mt.
Hope.
She went 70 Mt. Hope yesterday leaving
the child with her sister here for the
present.
The accident appears 10 he no ones
fault The teams sudden movement at
the depot was totally unexpected and the
driver made every effort to stop the run
away The hack was not damaged, and
the occupants would NOT nave been hurt
II they had not jumped out. Mr.. AIcVicar's
friends hope he will come out all right.
and il appears to be the opinion OF the
physicians that he will recover.

had arranged to call for Miss Helm

elder lady had declared at luncheon

probability of a further fall in ones

of orchestral music, and that Nora
must give him some tea and her ex-
