Mrs Emma Markert of Rockville
lost her left foot as the result of Pc
culiar trolley accident just before
noon yesterday, and is now in the
Hartford hospital. She was a passen-
ger on the car leaving Rockville at II
o'clock, due In Hartford at 1920, and
was with Conrad B. Rau, also of Rock
vile. The car was in charge of Mo-
torman Leon Ames and Conductor
Robert May. Between Station Az and
Station 5 at Woodland the controller
burnt out and the flames shot into the
air about foot above the box. The
motorman was uninjured. Two young
men, who were sitting on the front
seat thinking that they might be
burned, jumped on to the running
board and started towards the rear of
the car. Mrs Markert was sitting in
the font seat inside Of the car, an open
one, and in the commotion she started
to jump from the car. Her compan-
ion stepped onto the running board
with her and they prepared to jump
together. 1t is supposed that the wo-
man jumped first land because her,
companion was still holding on to her
she fell back under the car, the wheels
passing over her leg.
