southbound Crescent Park car yesterday
William Phillips of IA South Broadway
met with an accident which might have
been serious.
The car was running down Warren
.avenuc at almost full speed. when Phil
lips ran out and seizing the rail attempted
TO board the car. The momentum OF the
car was so great that he was pulled on
OF his feet before he could spring upon
the step and he was hurled 10 the ground.
The force OF the fall was sufficient to
bruise Mr. Phillips considerably. ana
there were several cuts upon his person.
none OF which were serious.
He was taken TO the office OF DR.. ALI
son. where he was examined. and IL was
| found that no bones were broken. lie
| then returned to his home. feeling very
lame and sore from his rough experience
/ with a moving trolley car.
DANGEROUS PLAY.
a News reporter noticed two things yes
| terday. which were dangerous. These
were two different forms OF the same act,
! trespassne on the railroad.
While about the roundhouse two loco
/ motives stopped to take on water before
being put up for the nisht When this
! the turntablo than several younsters.
/ none OF whom appeared to be dozen
/ years old, ,swarmed all over them and
| chased each other across the track in
| front OF the engines
/ The children had no right in the locality
/ and II is doubtful III the enginemen and
/ other employees realized the responsibility
| they assumed when they encouraged the
/ boys to trespasS by allowing them TO fool
| around the turntable and the engines
/ upon H.
The other thing was the frequency with
which people cross the tracks at the
! point where but few days ago a man
was run over by a train. severing one
/ leg. There Is no crossing here and no
one. unless duly authorized. has any
right upon the track at this point
Among thosa whom the reporter saw
cross the track was a little girl who was
apparently not over six years OF age.
| In the thoughtless OF youth the child
ran across the track without looking to
see what was coming in either direct
ion. She got across safely. but that was
more OF good luck than otherwise In
following the example OF her elders she
had exposed herself to a danger which
at any time may crush out youthful
life.
