PASADENA, Jan. 2O.-Joseph Mis-
chowsky, the 11-year-old son of the
proprietor Of the Boston dry goods
house in this city. fell i'm front of a
Pacific Electric car this evening and
was dragged thirty feet under the
pilot but was not killed. and the sur
seons say has a chance of recovery.
Inc lad was riding on the street car
track on South Fair Oaks avenue,
near Congress street. when he heard
q street car approaching behind him.
He turned his bicycle to get out of
the way when the wheel slipped on the
muddy track and he was thrown to the
ground right in front of the moving
car. He was struck almost Immediate
ly and dragged some distance before
the car could be stopped. 1t seemed
q miracle that he was not killed out
right
DR.. i. F.. Rowland, the company's
surgeon, was at once summoned. and
having the injured and unconscious
boy removed to the Pasadena hospital
made thorough examination, He
found that no bones were broken. that
there We're two severe contusions OFT
the scalp at the back of the head and
that there was undoubtedly some con-
cussion of the brain. just how serious
IT is yet impossible to determine. The
boy has more than a fighting chance
OF recovery
1t is said that no blame can attach
TO the motorman of the car. as he
stopped his car as quickly as possible
Develops Strange Incident
A somewhat humorous feature OF
the accident was the result of the
difficulty experienced in identifying
the unconscious boy for some time
after the accident. Anxious mothers
and fathers, who knew that their son
was in that vicinity at the time the
accident occurred, hurried to the hos
rital or telephoned by scores to see
Ii the lad was theirs. Finally the
poy's mother appeared and identified
him.
Two young girls appeared at the
hospital after the boy had been iden-
titled and in a whirlwind of sobs de-
manded to hear of their brothers in
Juries and to see him at once. DR.. Row.
land comforted them as much as he
could and told them of the chances
for the boys recovery, and finally led
them to the bedside. They sobbed for
some time. but curiously enough did
not seem 10 notice the Mischowsky
brother beside them.
DR.. Rowland finally pointed out the
brother. The young women did NOT
know him and bewildered looked again
at the face on the pillow before them
only to learn that it was not their
brother after all.
Curious Automobile Accident
Mrs. Adelbert Fenyes of 292 East
Colorado street figured in a peculiar
and expensive accident this afternoon.
her great electric automobile making
Il desperate dive for a fine plate glass
window on South Raymond avenue
and stopping it's headlong career only
when 1t was turned partly over and
its wheels ran helpless in the air. Mrs.
fenyes was turning the automobile
so as to come alongside the curb, and
becoming confused she turned the
rower on instead of turning it off as
she intended.
The machine Immediately made
fearful rush. mounted the sidewalk and
DETECTED by a lamppost dove for the
plate glass front of the Benz Japanese
store. 1t totally demolished the glass,
the front wheels being lifted into the
air by the collision and the rear wheels
still moving swiftly the car tilted back
ward, landing fortunately on the rear
of the body box and standing literally
on end, where it stood until someone
turned off the power.
uliS' peuytS WAS thrown over Inc
back OF the seat into the victoria top,
escaping all injury. Had the car turned
clear over she would undoubtedly have
been crushed to death. AS 1t was the
only damage was to the store window,
its contents and the automobile itself
When the car was partly overturned
the sulphuric acid in the batteries ran
into the car, causing much damage to
the leather work and 20 the contents of
the car. 1t is reported that the total
damage to plate glass windows, con-
tents Of same and to the machine it
self will reach something near $400.
The automobile is a Waverly Electric
of particularly handsome design, weigh
ing about 2500 pounds, and IS the same
with which Mrs. Fenyes has
had several troublesome accidents dur
ing the past few months.
