Is Hurled Out and Ahghts
on His Head.
MACHINE HAD SKIDDED
Rear Wheels Caught In Street Car
Tracks When Chauffeur Tried
TO Pass Vehicle.

What came near being a fatal acci-
dent occurred yesterday afternoon
shortly after o'clock on Fifth avenue
near Thirty-hfth street, when an auto
mobile skidded into a wagon driven
by Jacob NJ. Gelick and hurled him
from his seat and down TO the icy
pavement, where he landed ON his
head. Fortunately, he was not hurt,
though his escape was little short of
miraculous. The auto sustained some
damage to a rear door and TO a wheel
fender.
SKIDDED IN TRACK.
: The auto, driven by Charles Mason
of the Mason garage IN Davenport, was
headed westward and contained a par
ty Of FIVE men. The machine was hit
ting a pace which bystanders said was
not far from IS miles per hour. In
front OF the street car barn between
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-hfth streets,
Gelick was driving his wagon with the
rags and junk he had bought during
the day. The wheels Of his wagon
were IN the street car track. AS the
auto drew up from Jhe rear, the chauI-
feur headed out from the tracks to pass
10 the north Of the wagon. The front
wheels cleared the rails all right, but
the back ones baked. and in an in
slant the machine was skidding side.
ways.
REAR HITS WAGON.
The shdding continued until the
rear Of the machine brought up with
crash against the rag gatherer'
wagon. As the wagon. horse and all
was showed ahead by the force OF the
impact. Gelick was hurled backwards
into the wagon. and from there he fell
20 the ground, alighting on his head
That he was not killed was a wonder.
The collision stopped the auto and
the occupants jumped out and picked
mp Gelick. His horse had not been
thrown and was stopped half a hun
dred feet down the track. The harness
was badly torn. but otherwise the cat
III was not badly injured. The force
OF the collision was evidenced by the
hole in the door Of the auto and the
broken wheel fender
