New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1906-06-02

four riders were well seated IN the
ear, the shove was given to the
conveyance by Horn, so they say,
and the run began. The car went
down the first incline, up then,
and down again, turned the first
curve and headed for the loop.
The loop was made safely. The
speed of the ear was great, Wheth-
err or not the great weight in the
ear gave it greater speed Is hard to
say butafter running ont the loop 1t
dashed mp the incline and was
ready TO carry itself down into an
other dip of the structure when the
CAR LEFT THE TRACKS.
1t jumped towards the south and
fell close to a small building which
is used for stores, and the -four
men went to the ground with the
conveyance. The ear was upturn-
ed. Messrs. Subcrbielle and
Henshaw were pitched out into
open, so to speak, while Messrs,
Bush aud Labarthe were held by
the ear.
In falling Mr.. Suberbielle was
thrown against the broken stand
Of an iron table and the edges,
some believe, caused the great ugly
cuts about his neck. But the fatal
injuries were about the head and
neck, the skull being fractured III
many places, aud the neck being
cut and the backbone broken.
Mr.. IIenshaw, luckily, was not
pinned down by the weight, and
he wriggIed ont into the open, and
his cries, as well as the groans OF
Mcssrs. Bush and Labarthe, were
heard by several men close by.
West, who was up at the sum
init, heard tina crash. He knew
something had gone wrong, and
and looking over the sweep Of
trestle work he saw that the car
was gone. With others who had
worked with him. West rushed
down to the gro6nd and hurried
over 70 where the ear was.
Perhaps the first man to reach
the unfortunate party who suffered
from the accident was William
Campbell, Of Lafayette Street OPP
posite the City Hall, worker at
the Stein stand He tried to pull
the ear off of the men who were
pinned beneath its weight While
he was Juggling at the heavy Vehicle
West and others came mp and soon
the ear was pushed to one side aud
Messrs. Bush aud Labarthe were
freed.
Runners called for physicians,
and DR.. Homer Dupuy lost no time
in getting TO the side of the in
jurcd. Men had lifted the form
of Mr.. SubprbieIlc, and DR.. Dnpuy
saw that there was no helping him.
He was dead. In looking at the
countenance of the New iberia
banker, DR.. Dupny recognized the
dead man as an old friend, for the
physician came from the prosper
Gus little town. Turning sadly TO
the injured, DR.. Dupuy gave them
every attention, and Policeman
Clifton, who, as well as the special
officers Of the park and park work
ers, did all that could be asked
summoned IN ambulance.
Messrs. Bush and Labarthe
stated that they were anxious to go
to the hospital, and Mrs. Bush,
who had gotten word Of the ac-
cident and had rushed TO the aid
of her husband and brother, show
ed a similar anxiety, and when the
ambulance reached the park the
brothers-in law were placed III the
van and were conveyed to the in
stitution. Mr.. iIeushaw was cared
for by DR.. Dnpny, who summoned
a private ambulance and escorted
his patient to the New Orleans
Sanita"ium.
The police of the park, who were
re-enforced by Detectives Schultz
and Special Officer Griffin and
Corporal Boyard, removed the
body of Mr.. Suberbille back of the
Katzenjamer amusement place and
sent the remains to the morgue.
In trying to find the cause of the
accident, inquiries were made for
the manager or the superintendent
of the Loop the-Loop, but seeming
~ there is no such a position, and
no particular representative of the
operators of the concern could be
West said he did not
even know the men who worked
with him last night. AL were new
save himself, aud he was unable to
tell the names of the others. He
said that he had the car on the
tracks all evening and did not use
any other conveyance. 1t carried
throughout the run aud
there was no accident, and besides
two trips before the Que which was
taken with such results. West
sisd he CREASED the car and made
sure that it was in good condition.
In speaking of the cars, he said
that besides the four wheels at the
bottom of the carriage there is a
wheel on either side of the ear,
up high and fitted to other
rails. How it happened that the
car left the tracks he could not say.
Some evenings ago there was an
accident to a car, one OF the
wheels going off its axle. This
accident happened in the loop, but
the car came out of the loop and
went up the incline where it stopped
any serious results.

who sold tickets, remarked that
