CAPT. FALLESEN MAY DIE.
Weil-known Fireman Struck by
Auto on Richm ond Hill.

Fire Captain Hangen ]. Falesen, so
years old, of yelling, near Orchard,

and perhaps fatally injured Friday af-

Jamaica avenue, at Washington street,
Richmond Hill, was said this morning,
at ST. Mary's hospital, Jamaica, to
which institution he was removed, to be
slightly improved. but still in a critical
condition.
Captain Fallesen was crossing the
street. He walked in front of and
around an east bound trolley car, which
had stopped to permit number of
passengers to alight. To avoid running
into the passengers, Simon, the auto
mobilist, instead of turning to the right,
going in the same direction as the car,
turned to the left. Captain Fallesen,
in going around the front of the car,
did not see the approaching auto.
Simon reversed his motor and did
everything he could to avoid accident,
but the distance was too short, and the
injured man was thrown to the side of
the road. He was unconscious when
picked up. Ambulance Surgeon Hal
stead, who was summoned from st.
Mary's hospital, found the fire captain
suffering from fracture of the skull,
conclusion of the brain, a lacerated
wound of the scalp and laceration of the
left ear. His ear was almost severed
from the head.
Simon was arrested and bail was Sc
cured for him. He was arraigned in
the Jamaica police court this morning.
