set Boulevard

C. A. Jewell. son-in-law of H. V.
Blenkiron, millionaire landowner of Los
Angeles, is lowering between life and
death in the Good Samaritan hospital
as the result of being thrown from his
automobile early yesterday morning
when the machine crashed into a
bakery wagon at the intersection of
Sunset boulevard and Echo Park ave-
nue.. Jewelrs SKULL was fractured in
several places and his nose was broken.
A delicate operation was performed on
the mans head at the receiving hos
pital by Police Surgeon Wright. The
injured man was removed to the Good
Samaritan hospital later in the day.
Jewell had been entertaining a party
of friends at his home, 1903 Mailman
avenue. East Hollywood, and volun-
homes who had not come in automo-
biles. He was returning from one of
these trips when, according to several
witnesses, his automobile, which was
travelling at the rate of sixty miles an
houd, struck a bakery wagon driven
by C. NJ. Shaw for the Murray Bal1-
ing company. J~well was hurled into
ltlt dill tuusLAG WtiSOil anu iiOl 500 NSiC

jury. The automobile, without a
driver righted itcelf and plunged ahead
for nearly a block, when the machine
was brought to a stop at the curbing.
Jewell is well known about the city
as a bon vivant Six years ago he came
to Los Angeles from Grand Rapids,
Michigan. A few years lated he mar
ried into a wealthy family in the city
but soon serarated from his wife.
One year ago he worked for Brock
and Feagans, Broadway jewellers, for
$40 a week. but left his position to
go into mining. A lucky strike, it is
said, put him on his feet and he was
soon rated as wealthy. He purchased
a handsome residence i'll East Holly
wood and several automobiles.
Jewell is we'll known among the
sporting fraternity and was fond of
fast automobiles. Last Saturday night
he knocked down Mrs. NJ Ashton, 2251
Stephenson street, while driving his
car at rapid rate, and the woman
was removed to the receiving hospital
