CAR JUMPED THE TRACK.


Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, March PA south-bound
car on the Union Traction C~ompany's sys-
tenn jumped the track a short distance
north of SummitvilIe early this morning.
The car was demolished and the following
persons were injured:
WILLIAM T~RUEBLOOD, Marion, con-
ductor. injured internally. face badly dis
figured and head cut and bruised; may die.
J. P. FIVECOAT, Marion, passenger, rib

The REV. WILLIS HOTCHKIsS, lee
turer, Cleveland, o., a passenger, foot
crushed.
CHARLES HERNE. motorman, cut about
the face.
The car left Marion at 5 o'clock. The
storm which had been raging all night had
covered the track with a thin coating of
slippery snow and ice. Near Summitville
there is a heavy down grade. When this
was reached the motorman attempted to
apply the brakes, but they refused to take
hold and the car ran on the curve at the
bottom of the grade at its greatest speed.
The rear end jumped off the truck. True
blood was standing on the rear platform,
and when the curve was rounded he was
thrown from the car to the side of the road.
The car then tumbled off the track, and in
doing so the top struck a feed wire pole.
The pole was broken off nearly to the
ground, but to this stub of a pole is due
.he fact that Trueblood was saved from
instant determination, as the car. resting on
the broken pole, lay across his chest and
pinioned him to the ground. Physicians
from Alexandria. Summitville and Marion
were Immediately sent for and the injured
were taken care of and removed to their
homes or to Anderson hotels. There were
eight passengers on the car at the time
of the accident.
