MULLER RENDERS AID.
J. A Muller. the youth who was driv-
tng the milk wagon that was demol-
tshed By Walls fast-speed automobile
mas not yet forgotten that he was in a
collision and when seen today at his
home on Baker avenue, near the san
Leanoro and Haywards road, was lying
or e cot in the shade OF q tree with his
right ankle in splints and his chest
wrapped with bandages. Spea king Of
ms experience in the smash-up, Muller
said.
y was driving east toward home and
was directly in the middle Of the road
way when I noticed the lights Of an
automobile heading right for me- Be
fore ] could draw a second breath the
machine ran plump into my horse and
wagon and-I can remember that I start
ed 70 90 upward. When 1 came 10 1
found myself lying by the side of the
roadway with e badly sprained right
ankle and pains Ia my chest I crawIed
10 my feet and saw my horse lying dead
and an automobile near by.
umped over TO the machine and
helped 10 carry a fellow who was pretty
badly used up and bleeding into John
Byrnes' saloon. The people around the
automobile did not know that 7 was the
driver Of the milk wagon until I told
them They thought that the horse and
wagon had been standing in the road
There was plenty Of room on either side
OF the road for the automobile to have
turned and avoided a collision but I
guess the fellow running the machine
old not see my rig. I have often been
along the Haywards road after mid
night and 1 know that il is the most
dangerous time for persons on wheels
or IN wagons, as the automobile drivers
believe the road is clear and let out
their machines and run them at ton
speed"
Measurements made today showed
that Wallis automobile ran seventy feet
after hitting Mullers horse and wagon.
MCller's father has retained an attor-
ney TO investigate the collision and
there is a possibility that Wall may be
sued for damages
