A Bad Street
Car Collision
Terrific SmaShup on South Temple Near the Eagle Gate
This Morning During the Dense fog -Motorman War
ter farow Near Deaths DOor-SeveraI Hurt

One OF the worst streetcar accidents
that has happened In the history of the
Consolidated Railway and Power com"
pany occurred on East South Temple
street near the intersection OF Third
East at $3.50 this morning. Both cars
were badly wrecked, while Walter c,
Farrow, motorman, 2Sl N street, was so
severely Injured that he was taken to
Holy Cross hospital and late this after
noon was reported as being very low.
w. f. Bennett, city salesman for the
Diamond Coal company, who was stand
ing on the front platform Of the same
car was also badly cut and bruised and
after his wounds had been dressed he
was taken home In hack. Miss Flor
ence Pratt employed in the county
clerks Office, received number OF
bruises and Miss Kate Milford Of the
county recorders office sustained cut
knee and several bruises on her side.
Several Of the passengers also received
scratches and cuts from flying glass.
The cause Of the accident is attrib-
uted by those who were on the cars to
the dense fog that prevailed and the
recklessness Of the motorman on the
South Temple street car, who met the
Third street car coming west on the
single track The motorman jump
ed and saved his life and
the next instant the heavy Third
street car went blowing into the small
er enc amid crash of breaking timber
and flying glass Farrow stayed with
his car and went with his yestibule
through the front end. When he was
with difficulty taken from the wrecked
platform he was bleeding profusely
from scalp wounds and was apparently
suffering from internal injuries. Mr..
Bennett, who was on the front platform
Of the same car had miraculous es-
cape from death and was lucky.
This is the way he told the story OF
the accident as he was having his
wounds dressed in the Willis Horne

Meanwhile, the influence Of as many
prominent officials as possible are be-
ing enlisted In his behalf with the idea
Of breaking down the prejudice that ex-
lists against him. A member Of the
