SERIOUS
ACCIDENT
JAMES PERDUE STRUCK BY
YARD ENGINE AND BADLY IN.
JURED.

James Perdue, driver for the
Blueheid Brewing company. was
run down and seriously injured to-
day just before noon by an engine
on the Biueheld yard. Mr.. Perdue
lives In Hicksville and had started
home to dinner. Boarding an en-
gine near the brewery he rode to a
point nearly opposite his home.
when he jumped from the engine
and started across the yard. Hardly
had he alighted from the engine
when he was struck by another run
ming in the opposite direction and
badly injured. His right thigh was
head was bruised severely on the
right side, and he received a bad
wound In the breast.
He was brought to the BlueHeld
Sanitarium and his injuries dress
ed, but the full extent of his In
juries have not yet been deter
mined.
Mr.. Perdue 10 married. but has
no children. He is 29 years OF age.
Since the above was written the
announcement comes from the hos
pitai that Mr. Perdue's injuries.
while serious. are not likely to
prove fatal. Since his wounds
have been dressed hs is resting as
comfortably as could be hoped for
Some criticism has been indulged
In by those who notified the hos
pital because physician did not
at once como to the assistance OF
the wounded man instead of walt
ing for him to be brought to the
hospital. We have made inquiry
and learn that the physicians were
all out looking after important
cases and there was no emergency
physician at hand. II sometimes
happens that all the physicians are
called out at once. For example, II
an emergency physician had re-
sponded to this call and another
case had occurred while he was
away. there would have been no
one to answer the second call.
