ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Carl Wilson Is Knocked From Street
Car and Badly Bruised.

Carl Wilson, a young man about 20
years of age, met with an accident
while coming in from Callers park
last evening that came near costing him
his life He had been out to the resort
and was returning home on a late car.
II was crowded, and Wilson was COM
PEELED to stand on the running board
on the side next TO the poles He had
been standing there but few moments
when he leaned out from the car and
was struck by a pole.
Wilson was knocked off the car and
rendered unconscious, but fortunately
rolled away from the car and escaped
from being crushed beneath the wheels.
The car was stopped and Wilson was
picked up AMI taken to a drug store,
where DR.. J. S. Richards examined his
wounds. The young man suffered a
very bad bruiSe on his right hip that
will disable him for some time, and
was cut slightly about the head, but
the physician does not think his in
juries are serious. The young man
probably owes his life to the fact that
he was knocked away from the car in
stead of under the wheels for had the
car passed over MIN there would, no
doubt, have been a repetition Of Thurs
day evenings fatality when ANGEL
Roper lost his life.

St Louis. June 26.-BOodling in con-
nection with the candy bill was the
subject of investigation before the
grand jury today. Three local candy
manufacturers, F. D. Seward, c F
Wenneker and A. J. Waters, were the
witnesses.
1t had already been brought out by
witnesses called in the investigation
that Doodle fund of $500 was raised
in St. Louis during the last session OF
the legislature to defeat the sO-called
pure candy bill, the passage of which
the sugar trust was urging. It is sup
posed that large amounts of boodls
were used. but so far evidence has been
obtained to establish that only $500
was raised locally.
