JN0. A. EVANS BADLY
HURT IN FALL FROM CAR.

John A. Evans cashier OF the Des-
eret News and one Of the Bishoprlc Of
the Eighteenth ward. sustained seri-
Gus injuries in a fall from a street car
Saturday night, and for time. II was
thought that his hurts might result
fatally Mr.. Evans was returning
from visit TO the eastern part OF the
city on the South Temple street car
line shortly after II o'clock From
his rambling and sometimes incoher-
ent remarks made yesterday. II is
gathered that when he reached %"
street. on which his residence Is locat-
ed. he rose and held up mis- fare for
the conductor who was on the front
platform with the motorman. As the
conductor did not see him, he laid
his fare on the seat. pulling the bell
rope. and went To the rear platform.
What happened after that is not vet
known. 4 Mr. Parkinson who was
walking on the sidewalk in that To-
caIity says he saw In the darkness
what looked like a coat being thrown
from the rear platform. ON going up
to investigate, he found the form OF a
man lying near the track. lie pulled
the body away from the rails. and with
the crew OF another street car, coming
from the west he endeavored to iden-
tify the PROSTATE form. Mr., Evans
was unconscious and his head was
covered with blood and dirt so that he
was unacceptable, but from letters
IN his pockets his identity was soon
established. The police patrol wagon
was telephoned for and Mr., Evans was
conveyed 10 the Holy Cross hospital.
Telephone messages were sent out
from here to Mr. Whitney, business
manager Of the News" who with
Bishop r. A. Clawson and James
Savlle. Mr. Evans brother-in- law. was
soon at his bedside Drs Paul and
Benedict made an examination and
the latter remained at Mr.. Evans bed
side for several hours sewing up the
severe wound over his right eye. and
bandaglng his arms Mrs Evans and
others of hts relatives arrived soon
after and their relfe may be imagined
when they were told by DR.. Benedict
that the skull was not fractured. and
that the injuries, while serious. would
not be fatal. Yesterday aud today
while he was In o dazed condition part
OF the time he had so far improved
that his physicians thought he might
be removed TO his own home this
afternoon. His injuries consist OF a
deep cut over the right eve, bruised
face and back, and lacerated hands.
Being a heavy man, the shock Of the
fall was very severe. and Il viii no
doubt take some time before he thor
oughly RECEIVERS.
