STRUCK BY CARS
Narrow Escape Of Two Men
From Fatal Injuries.

Two narrow escapes from fatal injuries
occurred on the Interstate Street railway
within the past IS hours.
The first accident was late Saturday
evening. but the second, yesterday af-
ternoon.
Joseph Nadeau was so weary that he
threw himself on the ground in the vi
cinity OF Dodgeville cemetery. which is
located on the main highway between
Hebronville and Dodgeville. over which
the cars OF the Pawtucket and Attieboro
loop OF the Interstate line pass.
Nadeau did not seem to care where he
slept. He did not hear an approaching
car, and the motorman of the car did not
sec the sleeping man until It was too late.
The running board struck Nadeau I'm the
back and threw him against the stone
wall.
He was picked UP and taken to Attie-
boro where he was examined by DIR. Hol-
den. Though confused. no bones were
broken and Nadeau was able to 60 on his
way Sunday morning
William Dyer OF Hayward street, At
tleboro, was on bicycle and following
a North Attleboro-bound electric on North
avenue in the town of Attleboro. when
his machine struck into a freshly laid
roadbed. His wheel came to a dead stop,
causing him TO dismount. At the same
time an electric In charge OF Motorman
Stanley bound south, came along Dyer
did not see IL and stepped directly in
front OF II.
The car was moving at a good rate OF
speed at the time. Before Stanley could
stop II and before the wheeman could
get out OF the way the damage was done.
Dyer was struck a hard blow. and, luck
fly. was thrown to one side out OF the
path OF the car. He was rendered uncon-
scious. His hurts consisted OF contusions
and decorations about the body. He was
taken home. His wheel was wrecked.

Chicago. June s.--Adolph Boustror. b.
years old. a former inmate OF the poor
house at Dunning. recently received a
legacy from his fathers estate In Ger
many He became suddenly insane Sat
urday night in his newly purchased sa-

He was taken to the Harrison Street Po-
lice station.

was undoubtedly due TO his recent ac-
ouirement OF riches. She informed the
officers that Boustroff had for nine years
been an inmate of the poorhouse. He
came 10 Chicago many years ago and
worked as a baker. While working at mis-
trade he met with an accident which re-
suited in the loss OF the fingers of one
haud.
This incapacitated him for work at his
trade and IL was owing to his crippled
condition that he was admitted TO Dun
ming. one month ago Boustroff received
$1,000 from the German consul as his share
OF his fathers estate and at the same
time he was informed that at the death
of his mother who Is now 81 years old.
he will receive $4,000 more.
II was the receipt OF this money and
the information that some day he would
receive more that Is thought 10 have un-
balanced Boustroff's mind When ar
rested Boustroff had s146o In his posses
