ESCAPE FROM DEATH
MISS IRENE OWENS FALLS UNDER
A MERRIAM PARK
CAR
PASSED OVER HER BODY
She and Mrs. DIR. Henderson
Alighted From Il Car and Each
Stepped Into an Excavation Be
side the Track-One Fell Out
side the Rail and Another in
Just as the Car Backed Up.

For several moments Miss Irene
Owens, living at 203O Selby avenue, ley
under a Merriam Park street car last
evening in imminent danger Of being
crushed to death. She fell into an ex-
oavation between the track ties and
the car passed directly over her. OW-
ing to the fact that her body was well
down in the hole between the ties, she
es capped being mangled, as she was not
struck by the wheels, and when rescued
from her perilOus position, as quickly as
possible, was found to be seriously, but
not dangerously, hurt Mrs. DR.. Hen
derson, of Merriam Park, also stepped
into the excavation and fell down, but
fortunately was thrown outside Of the
track, instead of between the rails, and
so escaped being imprisoned under the
car with Miss Owens.
The accident occurred on Marshal
avenue, between Amos and Prior ave-
nUes, where the city railway company
is laying new tracks, shortly after
o'clock. A west-bound car, upon which
Miss Owens and Mrs. Henderson were
returning home, stopped at a switch
to wait for the eaSt-bound car, and the
women alighted. Passing behind the
rear coach, Miss Owens and Mrs. Hen
derson started to cross the track Both
women lost their footing in crossing the
ties, and fell. Mrs. Henderson was be-
hind and fell outside Of the rails, but
Miss Owens fell into the hole between
them At this moment the car started
to back up to make room for the ap-
preaching east-bound car to pass, and,
before the frightened cries of the wom-
en- could be needed, Miss Owens was
pinioned under the rear coach. When
the car was stopped, she was complete
ly hidden from view. A hurried inves-
tigation showed that the young woman
was party protected through lying
In the excavation between the ties and
the car was quickly drawn forward. re-
leasing her from further danger Miss
Owens was in a semi-conscious condi-
ton when removed from the track, and
1t was feared she had been fatally hurt.
DR.. Henderson reached the scene soon
after the accident and had Miss Owens
at once removed to her home. while
Mrs Henderson, suffering from a nerv-
Gus shock and the effects Of the fall
was also taken home. Later, when
Miss Owens was resting more easily,
DR.. Henderson made a careful examina-
ton and found that the young woman
had not sustained dangerous injuries.
She was badly bruised, but no bones
were broken. Her spine is injured to
