TROLLEY CAR
Runs Down Michael McCor-
mack in So. Lancaster.

Clinton Oct 1.-THE electric car that
leaves Clinton at o'clock had reached
the Thayer field in South Lancaster
this evening when it struck Michael
Mccormack, breaking his right leg in
two places, dislocating both hips and
injuring his left leg so badly that it
had to be amputated between the knee
and the ankle. He was taken to the
Clinton hospital and received the care
of DR.. George i. Tobey. Mccormack is
single man between so and IS years
of age, and is employed by E. & R.
Thayer, and has been boarding with
Michael Fay Of Lancaster Center. He
cannot live many hours.
The place at which the track crosses
the field is very dark. Probably nobody
except the injured man knows exactly
where the accident happened. The
police are making an investigation. If
Mccormack dies, arrests viii follow
The car was operated by Motorman
Cobrill and Conductor Berry. Superin-
tendent Burgess Of the street railway
company is making an investigation
upon his own accord. He refuses to talk
about the matter.
Mccormack is we'll known in Clinton
and Lancaster, and at one time had
considerable means, but lost his money
through an unfortunate investment.
