Yesterday afternoon while driving
on West Second street, near Clay

by street car and the carriage in

seventy-five feet before the car could

keep his seat until the car stopped.
Dr. Sheafe was crossing the track
diagonally when the car coming from
the rear struck him and he did not
hear the warning bell which Motor
