Sandberg and son. Silas Sandberg. of
the Canterbury turnpike. the former
employed by G. J.. Hubbard, and the
latter by G. W. Kies & Co, were rid
ing to this city on their bicycles
when they were struck by the new
six-cylinder car which John l.. Mitch
ell was driving also coming to the city
The accident happened at the Backus
hospital corner. The cyclists were on
the wheelpath at the left side of the
car track when they heard the horn
on the auto. Creeping silently upon
them the auto was on the right side
of the road. At the corner, as they
were bearing to their right and cross
ing to the right side of the street, Mr..
Mitchell, who was undecided where
they were headed for and endeavoring
to avoid a collision, all going in the
same direction, threw on the emergen-
cy brake and headed his car for the
point of land at the corner of Wash
ington and Lafayette street. He went
up upon the sidewalk. and through the
fence into the lot before he stopped.
but not until he had knocked both off
their wheels. The son was struck first
and then the father. who was thrown
upon the fender The wheels were
smashed and the men badly bruised.
In the evening it was thought the son
was perhaps the worse off, as he had
bad spot in his back. which it is
thought was caused by striking the
lamp on the left side of the machine.
They were taken to Mr.. Hubbard's
and later to DR.. TingIey's. The escape
from broken bones was fortunate.
