When He Was .ar-

J. p. Statt, resident of Sandyville
when arralgned before Mayor Robert
son Friday lctrning on the charge of
drunkenness, said that he had been
''doped" IN an East Tuscarawas street
saloon New Years evening and that
he had been relieved Of about $40.
The man was arrested by Officer
Reed about 1890 o'clock Thursday
evening on East Tuscarawas street
and when searched by the turnkey had
over $l5 in his clothes. When he was
informed by the mayor that he only
had $15 in money on his person when
arrested he told the story of being
"doped."
The mayor places some credence in
the story since Staff has always born
a good reputation. He is paperhang-

the police, will make an attempt to
run down the parties who got away

NO PASSENGERS WERE INJURED.

In a collision between a Massillon
and city car on West Tuscarawas
street about $3.50 o'clock Thursday
night William II. Douty. of AZ: North
Piedmont street, the motorman OF the
city car. had both legs fractured and
one car was smashed so as tn render
1t unfit for further use. No passen-
gers were injured.
The accident happened Just west OF
Lake junction opposite the Ran addl-
ton. City car No. So, one OF the OLD
style cars had just started back 10
the city after completing It's west
ward run in charge OF Motormah
Douty. Owing to a dense fog 1t was
impossible to see outside OF the car
and thinking that he would have time
TO get to the double track before the
Massillon car reached the Junction
Douty started toward the city The
Massillon car. however, was further
west than Douty thought and the two
cars came together with terrific force.
The Massillon car one of the large
new ones. in charge of Henry Moock'
ploughed through the smaller city car
aru Douty, who was standing at the
fl IN, was caught between the Two. He
was caught by the door of his car and
firmly pinioned in the wreck. When
the cars came to stop efforts were
Mt once made to release Douty from
the debris The efforts to separate
the cars were unavailing, but the In
jured man was finally eXtricated.
lie was carried into the reside 70
of H. Clark Thayer close to the scene
of the accident. and Drs. II. NJ.
Schuffell, A. C. and z. d. Brant were
summoned. They found that Douty
had sustained fractures of both legs
below the knees, while the Jeff leg
was badly mangled. The broken
members were set and then the in
jured man was taken to the Aultman
hospital in the Miller-B Blanchard am
bulance. 1t is thought that he will
recover
Fortunately there were no passen-
gers on the city car when the oolli-
sion occurred. The passengers in the
Massillon car were uninjured, while
the car was not badly damaged. The
city car, however, was completely
wrecked 1t was impossible to sep
arate the two and so they were
brought to the car barns together. It
was found necessary to chop away the
front end of the smaller car before they
could be drawn apart.
The dense fog which made 1t i'm
possible for the motormen TO see
ahead, is said to have been responsible
for the accident. AS soon as they saw
the headlight of the cars both motor
mon sounded their gongs and at
tempted to stop, but the distance was
too short. When the conductor of the
city car heard the sounding of the
gongs he put on the brakes at the rear
end of his car but this was incifect-
ual in decreasing the speed.
The increased height of the Massil
lon car over the city car was all that
saved Moock from injury. When the
collision occurred both cars, were run
ming at fair rate of speed.
