GREAT BRUTALITY
RUNS DOWN MAN AND DRIVES
AWAY
Cruelty of AutomobiIist In Running
Machine Over Prostrate Victim
with Only Passing Glance
Shocks Witnesses

William Straco, laborer. 4S years
of age, was probably crippled for life
yesterday as the result of the reckless
driving of all automobile by an
unidentified driver.
Straco alighted from Redondo car
No. 81 at Seventh and Broadway about
noon. He had scarcely placed his foot
on the ground when a heavy automo-
bile drove at high rate of speed along
side the car, knocking Straco to the
ground and the rear wheel passing over
his body.
The driver Of the auto did not stop
to see how severely injured his victim
was, but continued on his way with a
passing glance at the PROSTATE victim.
"I never saw a more brutal per-
formance," said the motorman on a
passing car 1.-The machine did not
slacken speed in the slightest and to
me the actions of the driver appeared
criminal"
Straco was taken to the receiving
hospital, where 1t was found his right
hip had been fractured in the accident
and he had sustained several other
painful injuries.
A report of the accident was made to
the police and an effort is being made
to learn the identity of the driver of the
automobile.

HOLD AUCTION
BIG PILE OF JUNK WILL BE
SOLD

Ing the Past Year VIII Be Dis
posed of to the Highest
Bidders

Tuesday, July 16, will be official auc-

that date the property clerks office,
cellar and attic, will be unloaded OF
the mass Of junk that has accumulated
during the last year.

miscellaneous an array of articles as
has ever been piled together, will be
collected in heaps in the patrol alley and
sold to the highest bidder. Henry
charge of affairs. while Patrolman
Charley Craig will act as auctioneer
The sale this year will be larger
than any in previous years. More than
eighty bicycles will be auctioned Off,
the majority of them being bicycles
taken away by thieves and never
called for by their rightful owners
Few of them are in good shape, but
they will probably be bought up by
secondhand dealers, who will have
them rebuilt before placing them on the
market.
When a prisoner is taken to the po-
lice station he is searched at the SER
geant's desk and the property taken
from him is placed in large envelope
and returned when he is freed. In
many cases the prisoners are In too
much of o hurry to call for this prop
erty and these envelopes also will be
sold.
There Is also a number of valises and
trunks at the station, and they will be
sold unopened.
The average bidder, as usual thing,
bids only small amount on the diff
ferent articles offered, but sometimes
good natured rivalry springs UP and
articles are bid in away above their
actual value.
