line. It was here that the other motorman, Ormond Dean. and the pas stngcrs, were hurt
 Some mistaking of schedule evident ly occurred in both instances. that ordinarily would have worked no harm when the motormen could look ahead but yesterday morning was one of the few times in the history of Phoenix that one could see but a few yards ahead of him The Brill street car shuuld have waited on the Brill track at Pierce. it is said. until the Indian school car north bound had passed that point giving the Brill car clear right of way into town. The car did in fact wait a little while when the motorman proceeded evidently think ing the Indian car had gone by. They came together midway between that junction point and the south end of the line at First and Washington.
 As soon as possible news of the ac- ,ident was telcphoncd to Manager Mitchell of the railway company. It was then about o'clock in the morn ing and MT Mitchell came tearing down town in his automobile as fast as he could do SD safely and arrived on Washington street in front of the residence of Col ]. II. McClintock be- tween Fourth and Fifth streets. just in time to see the second collision. Motorman Gallagher was seen to fly up in the air and ome down again dropping a leg through a hole in the platform of one of the coliding cars. As the ears jumped back in the re- bound his leg was broken.
 Mr. McClintock ran into the street and MT Mitchell asked him to tclc- phone the power station to turn off the current, which he did. Mir. Nit chell next arranged for the transfer ot the injured motorman to the hos Iital as quickly as possible. Gallagher vas found to have broken his right leg above the knee and to have sus- taincd other bruises. There were some others on the ear but none were hurt materially.
 MT Mitchell then proceeded tu the scene of the other accident and took charge of the situation. Ormond Dean the motorman of the Indian ear suf- fered from broken flying glass but not seriously.
 Robert Bentley. a barber. was prob ably the most seriously hurt He was thrown on his side in d seat and bad ly bruised. He was taken first to the office of Dr. Sargent where he was given temporary attention and re- moved to his home. IL is feared he may have suffered the injury of his spine.
 R. x. Mouticr. city ticket agent a the santa Fe. was severely injured. the extent of his trouble not being yet fully determined. He was thrown to one side of the wreckage and lav iE dazed condition for a few min utes. He suffered the dislocation of his right thumb the injury of one knee and the bruiSing of his back. |. is not thought the latter will prove serious
 c. l.. Johnson was hurt in the back and cut in the face and hands A Miss Westphaul was injured internal ly but it is thought not seriously and 2 man named Foster is said To have hurt his right hand
 \ peculiar feature Of the events was that in both instances little but firmly built car practically telescopcd or crawlcd up over a larger car which it bumped into. though the reason for 1t was plainly seen. The larger cars are of very old style and low built while the smaller cars hung to- gether like a battering ram and easily crashed through the ends of the older and larger ones. The smaller cars are higher built SD their front plat forms buckled over the lower plat forms of the larger cars.
