Millbury, July SO.-John Leach of the

day. Leach and friend were coming
out of the st. Charles Hotel stables on
their wheels about BIS o'clock this af-

yard all right, but as Leach was COM
ing out, at a good clip, the rim of his
front wheel broke and he was thrown
a distance of 20 feet against an electric
car of the Worcester and Suburban
road in front of the hotel.
Leach's head struck the run
ming board of the car and he
received a severe cut. Passengers on
the car jumped off and picked him up,
and it was found that other than the
cut on the head and few bruises, he
was not badly hurt. His machine far
ed worse. The front wheel was a to-
tai wreck and the fork was broken off
at the head and the frame was twisted
in a comical shape. Leach left the re-
mains of his wheel in the hotel stable
and boarded the next car for Worces-
ter.
