BIcYcLIsT STRUCK By A TRAIN.
William Aaronson's Perilous Expert
ence in North Haven.

! William Aaronson's Perilous Expert
ence in North Haven.
William Aaronson, West Haven
young man about eighteen years of age,
had a narrow escape from death while
riding his bicycle in North Haven Sat
urday afternoon about $50. Aaronson
was riding along near the North Ha-
ven depot and approached the grade
crossing there, riding rapidly, at the
same time that the south-bound pas
senger train which arrives in New Ha-
ven from Springfield about o'clock
was nearly on the crossing. Aaronson
either did not see the approaching train
or thought that he could cross the track
tahead Of the train. At any rate he
started at full speed across the track
directly in front of the locomotive of
the train.
Had he been a second slower he would
undoubtedly have been killed. AS it
was, his bicycle had nearly cleared the
track, but the rear wheel was struck
by the locomotive and the rider was
hurled to the ground with great force.
The wheel was wrecked. The train was
stopped and the injured man was talk
en- aboard, he having informed the con-
ductor that he lived in West Haven.
He was taken to West Haven on the
train and was carried to the home of
his parents. Dr. Bartlett was called
and remained with him nearly all Sat
urday night Yesterday morning the
physician decided that it would be bet
ter for Aaronson to go to the hospital
and he was accordingly taken to the
New Haven hospital about 10 o'clock
yesterday forenoon,
At the hospital it is thought that he
has received an injury to the spine and
the bones of the lower part of the pei
Wis are severely strained. 1t Is thought
that he will recover.
