4. /. WRIGHT HURT.
Left Leg Broken in Two Places
In Collision Yesterday Afternoon.

/ AS the result of a collision be-
tween the new Indian motorcycle
which he was riding, and the auto
mobile of Mr.. Daniel M. Webster,
of Secretary, Mr.. Hubert H.Wright,
of this city, sustained injuries which
it was feared at first might cause
his DEATH. However, a close ex-
animation showed that beyond be-
| ing badly shaken up, his most seri-
Gus injuries consisted of two
compound fractures of his left
leg, one just above the ankle and
the other just below the knee.
The accident occurred yesterday
| afternoon, between half-past two
and three o'clock. on the new State
road, near the home of Mr.. Fora
West. Mr.. Wright was trying out
a new Indian motorcycle, which he
had recently gotten in. The ma
| chine is capable of a speed of about
eighty miles an hour, and Mr.. Wright
was going along at fast clip when
he met Mr.. Daniel Webster,o Sec
| retary. In some manner or other
he got closer to Mr.. Webster's ma
chine than he intended, and struck
the mud guard with such force that
his machine was hurled ten or
fifteen feet to the other side of the
road, while he was thrown with
such force as to sustain the injuries
already stated.
After being struck by the motor
cycle, Mr. Webster's machine swerv-
ed to the left and struck that of
Mr.. ]. Ennalls Beckwith, who was
machine into the field in order to
avoid running over Mr.. Wright, and
also to avoid crashing into Mr..
Webster's car. His car struck the
embankment across the ditch with
such force that Miss Bessie North,
Mrs. Beckwith's sister, who was
riding on the front seat with Mr..
Beckwith, was hurled through the
windshield and sustained several
cuts about the head. She was taken
to the Hospital, where her injuries
were treated, and were found not
to be of a serious character.
Mr.. Wright, who had been hurled
a considerable distance, was picked
up by Mr.. Harvey Buker, who brou-
ght him to the Hospital in his
large touring car. At the hospital
it was found that in addition to be-,
ing badly shaken up, he had sus-
tanned two compound fractures of
the left leg, and DR.. Steele, the at
tending physician, deemed it best
to send for DR.. Compton RELY, the
specialist. This morning DR.. Rely
and the local physicians wired the
broken bones together, and about
three O'Clock Mr.. Wright was re-
ported as getting along very nicely.
The rumors that he had been
killed, and that it would be neces-
sary to amputate his leg,were wide
ly circulated, but the first one was
easily found to be untrue, while
the second one was disproved by
the action of the physicians in wir-
ing the broken bones together.
All day long the telephone at
the Hospital has been ringing, and
persons. not only from Cambridge.
but from other parts of the county,
as we'll, have kept the attendants
busy answering the calls.
