Indiana Harbor. Dec 2s=Street car
No. 81 on the Indiana Harbor branch
OF the South Shore line was hit by Ig-
natz Topulski, an Oklahoma contract
or. of 1892 Melville avenue and dented.
The collision which resulted in the
damage TO the car occurred last even
ing at the crossing of the c., T. & S.
with Chicago avenue That the car
was not more seriously damaged was
caused by the fact that, as Sergeant
Weifenbach explained, NIgnatz merely
hit it glancing blow. cursory in
spection of Ignatz revealed the fact
that he was drunk beyond ali bounds
of reason.
When 1t was determined that the
car was able to proceed Ignatz was
placed on board and taken to the Of
flee of DIR. A. G. Schlieker. His bores
were felt for possible fractures and
his epidermis was examined for
scratches. AS none could be discovered
with the naked eye, it was decided to
put Ignatz in a cell in the East Chi
cago jail and this was done
Did Il hurt the carr" asked Ignatz
when he came to this morning and his
presence in the jail had been ex-
planned.
On being Informed that the damage
was slight, he expressed surprise that
ne should have been detained.
