TRIED TO SIGNAL WITH MATCH
Man Is FOND In the Ditch With Com
pound Fracture of Right Arm and
Left Ankle Broken Railway Gave
No Report of the Accident.

Evidently the fivver automobiles are
not the only thing that just "ramble
right along This same thing is
charged against limited train on the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way company which struck Louis
Schildt, residing at 900 Main street, at
the McKeon crossing of the road just
after nightfall Sunday night. The
man was hurled into the ditch at the
side Of the road and north of the
crossing suffering from a compound
fracture of the right arm at the elbow
and fracture of the left leg at the
ankle and score of bruises, but if the
motorman saw the accident or felt the
force of his contact with the man he
never stopped the car until the Keno
sha station was reached
It was a limited train and not
scheduled to stop at the McKeon road
crossing. When the motorman saw
Schildt, if he did see him, the Kenosha
man made no impression on him.
Schildt and Mrs. Sylvia Pagel had
been working in the fields near the
road picking up potatoes and when
nightfall came they went over to the
crossing to catch car for Kenosha.
Both of them were tired after the
day Is work and neither of them knew
anything about limited trains. /"
When they saw the car coming up from
the south Schildt lighted match and
stood waving it out over the tracks.
Then the car came along. 1t struck
Schildt's arm and knocked him into
the ditch some forty feet from the
railroad crossing. Mrs. Pagel scream
ed, but the car went right along.
. Later she went to the assistance of the
injured man and found him in dazed
condition. She managed to get him
out of the ditch and placing him along
the road side she ran to the nearest
farm house and called the police de-
partment in Kenosha The police am
bulance in charge of Officers William
Bienemann and Barney McGivern, were
sent out to bring the injured man
to Kenosha.
Schildt was conscious when the Of
fcers reached him, but he was unable
to give any connected story Of the
accident. He admitted that he had
been standing very close to the track
holding the match in an effort to sig
nal the motorman to stop the car. No
report of the accident reached the po-
lice department from the Offices Of the
railway company.
Schildt was taken to the hospital
and DR.. George 3. Thompson was call
ed to attend him. In addition to his
broken bones three fingers on his left
hand were badly cut and bruised and
he had many other bruises on his body.
DR.. Thompson declared this morning
that Schildt, who is forty-fve years
old, would recover, but that he would
be in the hospital for many weeks and
possibly months. Schildt declared to
his physician that the men in charge
of the car made no effort to minister
to him after the accident.
Schildt has been employed for years
at the plant of the Balm Wagon com
pany, but for several Sundays he had
been supplementing this work with
work on the farms south of the city.
