Edward y. Stephenson, of 1417 North
Jackson street, a stonemason, and
Frank Kendall, of Shorey, a plasterer,
are confined to their homes today, the
result of a collision with auto mail
truck said to be owned by Arthur Cap
per, the Topeka publisher. The acct
dent occurred on Melan bridge about
noon Monday.
Mr.. Stephenson suffered a badly
bruised right wrist, arm and leg, and
will be unable to work for several
days. Mr.. Kendall will also likely be
forced to be off duty for some time
on account of the severe bruises he
suffered.
According to Stephenson, he and
Kendall were walking south on Melan
bridge on the west foot walk When
Il little beyond the north end he saw
the wheels of a big mail truck turn
and the machine headed toward him.
He had just time to warn his COM
panion and was lodging when the
front wheels struck them. The wheels
grazed the mems right sides and they
were thrown some distance away
Two negroes who were driving the
car came to the aid of the injured
men.
Dr. A. P. Davis, who dressed the
bruises, says that the hurts were Sc
we're, but not dangerous.
