MICHAEL DWYER
FAMOUS TURF MAN NARROWLY
ESCAPED DEATH--THRoWN
FROM VEHICLE.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Michael ]. Dwy-
er, famous for years among turf men,
narrowly escaped being killed this
afternoon while on his way to the
Jamaica race track. A carriage in
which he was driving to the race track
was completely smashed by a trolley
car of the Liberty avenue line at En-
Held street and Liberty avenue,
Brooklyn. The horse was killed. Mr..
Dwyer was thrown from the vehicle,
but Immediately arose and started to
walk away. Iie was stopped, however,
to await the arrival of an ambulance
from the Bradford street hospital. DR..
johnson examined the noted horseman
and found that he was suffering from
confusion and shock.
Considering his advanced age and
the fact that Mr.. Dwyer has been a
sufferer from locomotor ataxia, it was
little less than miraculous that he
escaped, The driver, Leslie Lacey,
was removed to the hospital, seriously
injured, but the doctors say he will re-
cover. !" .7a, Y. II
Mr.. Dwyer after being examined by
DIR. Johnson was taken In a carriage
