WERE MUCH
EXAGGERATED THOUGH
Curve In Road Hides Car as It Was
On It's Way From Clark Station
to Gary and One of the Victims Is
Carried For Nearly Two Hundred
Feet.

Max Goldstein and Daniel LETTER,
two Jewish fruit peddIers, who conduct
wholesale fruit store ON OIcott ave-
nue. I'm East Chicago, were the victims
of a crossing accident yesterday after
noon which might have cost them
their lives.
The accident was due TO a collision
between the wagon of the peddIers
and Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend Interurban car mt the Clark
street road near Clark station.
The car, which was in charge of
Motorman Kramer and Conductor
Johnson was going at the rate of fifty
miles an hour when 1t struck the wag-
on. There is a slight curve in the
road and owing to this the two men
on the wagon did not notice the APP
proach of the car. When 1t struck
them it caught the wagon which was
loaded with fruit squarely in the cen
ter, demolishing it completely. LETTER
was caught up by the front of the
car and carried for nearly 200 feet
He fell beside the road bed uncons-
cious. The wagon seat and pieces of
the wagon and all of the fruit was
all hurled considerable distance.
Car is Damaged.
When Motorman Kramer noticed
that the wreck was unavoidable he cut
off the power and ran back in the car
for shelter. The front window of the
car was demolished and the glass was
thrown all over the car. Part of the
fruit too was scattered in the car. The
horses escaped uniniured.
The train crew Immediately picked
them in the car which was backed UP
to Gary. where they were taken to
Mercy hospital
Both of the men were unconscious
when they were clicked up and at first
it was thought that they had both
suffered broken legs and broken arms
An examination, however. showed that
each suffered several broken ribs and
broken collar bone and other internal
injuries. 1t is thought that both will
| survive the accident.
The two men came from East Chica-
go yesterday in the hope of peddling
their fruit. They were encountered
by officer Miller, who seeing that they
had no license ordered them out OF
town 1t was while on their way back
home they met with the accident.
Coldstein and LETTER had recently
moved to East Chicago from South
Chicago and both are married and
have families in East Chicago.

CLUB MAKES PLANS
ABOUT ITS JUNKET
Will Go to South Bend in a
Body Accompanied by
Brass Band.
GET AFTER THE RAILROADS
Committee : Is Appointed to Ask a
New Depot From Lake
Shore Railroad.

The Commercial club yesterday de-
termined upon its junketing trip to
South Bend. and the committee on en-
tertainment, which has that work in
charge, has been instructed to begin the
detailed preparation. It was decided
as an outline of the program to have
special train containing several
coaches, decorated with pictures of
Gary, leave Hammond and go as far as
South Bend. The only question which
remains undecided is whether or not
the junket will wind up at South Bend
or Gary.
Most of the party feel that they
would like to have the real celebration
at home after they have made the noise
in the other cities. Others, however,
feel that it would be impossible to re-
turn from South Bend to Gary the
same day and that it should be held at
the finish of the iunket.
The members of the Gary Commercial
club intend to make this one of the
finest affairs ever given by the club.
The primary purpose is to boost the
city rather than to entertain the mem
bers, both of which, however, will be
accomplished 1t is expected that they
will leave no less than one hundred
strong, accompanied by the band, to
enliven the small army of invading
business men.
Go After the Railroads.
Another matter of Importance which
was acted upon yesterday afternoon
was an effort to bring several of the
railroad companies to time in regard
to their service in the city. The Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern will be
asked by a committee, composed of At
torney II. f. McCracken, Attorney CIar-
ence Bretsch, and w f. Hodges, to
attempt to induce the officials of that
road to provide a suitable depot for
the sheds which are now in use.
This committee will also be asked
to investigate the grade crossings al
the Michigan Central, Wabash and
Pennsylvania tracks They will ask
them to have the crossings protected
by watchmen or gates and if they are
unsuccessful in this they may appeal to
and try to force them to submission.
The matter of joining the State Fed
GRAFTON of Commercial clubs was taker
up, and it was decided to make appli-
cation for membership. The next meet.
ing of the association will be held a.
Goshen in the near future, and the 10.
cal club will send down three dele.
gates which will be appointed in the
near future by President Norton.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
had their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold,
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development OF the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment, 1t is the same with
all infect GUS diseases, Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has cold,
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure
cold is to take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made it staple article of trade
over a large part of the world, For

At any time when your stomach Is
not in good condition, you should take
Kodol, because Kodol digests all the
food you eat, and it supplies health
and strength to the stomach in that
way. You take Kodol just for little
while when you have slight attacks OF
Indigestion, and you take 1t just a
little longer in order to get relief
from severe attacks OF Indigestion or
Nervous Dyspepsia. Try Kodol to-
day. Sold by Coffman & Kirby.
Kodol is a combination of the nat
ural digestive juices and it diSests all
classes of food and every kind OF
food, so YOU see that it will do the
work that the stomach itself does.
The only difference between it aud
the stomach is that the stomach can
get out of order and Kodol cannot,
but Kodol can put them into good Or
