MERIDIAN-STREET RUNAWAY.
Miss Sarah BeIk, "a Trained Nurse,
Seriously Injured,

In a disastrous runaway accident which
happened about O'Clock last night, the
family carriage of William Bosom, of Ma
pleton, was badly wrecked, Miss Sarah Belk,
a trained nurse. who Is attending Mr.. Bos-
sons mother was seriously injured, and a
colored man in the employ of the Bosom
family was badly bruised and shaken up.
The accident occurred on Meridian street,
near Thirtieth, and was the result of care
leSsness, so 1t is claimed, on the part of the
driver of n vehicle with which the Bosom
carriage collided. Miss Belk, the nurse who
was injured, has been attending the mother
of Mr.. Bosom for several days, and yes
terday evening was driven into the city by
Mr.. Blossoms colored man. They started
homeward about 8 o'clock, driving out Me-
ridian street. Just beyond the Fall creek
bridge they met a vehicle occupied by a
man and woman. The man was driving and
was urging his horse forward at a reckless
pace. The two vehicles collided with con-
siderable force, and the Bosom carriage
was overturned. This frightened the team,
and the colored man, who was thrown out,
was unable to hold on to the lines. Miss
Belk was thrown to the pavement with
great force. and as she fell her mouth struck
the wheel, knocking out two of her teeth.
L
they broke loose from the carriage dragged
the vehicle several yards. Miss Belk was
dragged for some distance, apd when picked
UP was unconscious. One side of her face
was lacerated and her clothing was badly
torn.
The injured woman was carried into a
drug store in the neighborhood, and in a
few minutes revived sufficiently to enter a
vigorous objection to being taken to the
hospital, as one man proposed.
Miss Belk, who is well acquainted with
the family of DIR. Wilmer Christian, asked
that he be sent for. and the physician re-
sponded at once. He had Miss Belk re-
moved to his own home, where she was
given every attention necessary The coll
ored man, who escaped with much lighter
injuries, was able to go home. Mr.. Bosom
knew nothing of the accident until one of
the horses. dragging part of the harness,
trotted up to the gate of the Bosom resi-
denne. Mr.. Bosom, realizing that some
thing had happened, started out with lam
tern. He walked TO Thirtieth street before
he found out what had happened. DR..
Christian does not think Miss Beik's inju-
ries are dangerous. Both Miss Belk and
the colored man say the people they met
just north of the bridge made no attempt
to avoid collision, and they think the oc-
cupants of the vehicle were intoxicated.
