AUTO nISHAP
TAKES PLACE
On Holman

A Chicago woman was painfully in
jured in an automobile accident which
occurred on the Holman street bridge
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock when
the machine ran into a telegraph pole
and the woman, who was sitting in the
front seat, was thrown forward in such
d manner as to force her head through
the glass wind shield.
As a result she was badly cut about
the face and is said to have had sew
en- bad gashes on her face. when she
finally removed her head from the brok-
en glass.
The accident was witnessed by Bob
Grant, who is employed by the Chi
cago Telephone company to watch the
telephone cable which runs under the
river at the bridge
Traffic ConEested.
The name of the woman and the
owner of the automobile could not be
learned The accident is said to have
been caused as result of the con-
gestion of traffic on the bridge.
v w Parker's express wagon was
standing en- one side of the bridge and
an automobile approached from the
south. The automobile. which ran into
tne telegrRph pole, was coming from
the north
When the driver of the soufh-bound
machine saw the bridge blocked and an
atstofso obfleSeeniiHg texe.T d linn he took
the alternative of humping into the
telegraph pole rather thanssinto the
other machine.
The result was that the woman pas
senger in the machine poked her head
through the glass wind shield.

One lone constable, surrounded by !
500 foreigners, most of whom had |
swarmed as If by magic from the sa-
looms. all seemingly but waiting for a
leader, a wounded prisoner. with bull !
let wound in each leg. and the whole
scene overspread by tickle light from
nearby saloons tumult caused by hun
dreds of voices, such was the situation
last Saturday night when the auto pa
troll dashed into the Standard Steel Car
settlement to quell what might have
been a serious riot.
Constable Charles Merryweather of
Judge Prest's court had winged a pris-
oner who attempted to escape his Gus
toay after he had been fined ST. and
costs and which he refused to pay
Merrywe2ther fired five shots at the
fleeing man who hoped to make his
getaway in the darkness. Two of the
bullets taking effect, having entered
the mans legs just above the knees.
He is not fatally injured, but his con
ditfon necessitated his removal to the
hospital
Near Midnight Hour.
It was about II o'clock and hundreds
of men we're still in the saloons The
echo of the Eve shots barking out into
the night air seemed to electrify the
people within the walls and within a
few minutes the street was a seething
mass Of humanity. Two of the shots
must have gone very wild, for the ST.
mas brothers said they were in bed
and were not only awakened by the
reports of the gun, but that they We're
scared because the bullets had entered
their bedroom.
A gun shot usually means troubled
and the hundreds of men expected to
EHsee n1oesi fic~ last Saturday, night
When they saw the constable and
learned that he had shot of their
countrymen, they needed but a cue
and they would have set upon him.
Merryweather having arrested a num-
ber of the foreigners in the past for
violating the fish and game laws, the
feeling toward him is not the best
Merryweather caused the arrest of
John Joblowski, the latter having at
tempted to incite the foreigners to do
bodily harm to Merryweather. Joblow-
