A faithful city employee today was
seriously injured while at work. A
jitbus driver is being detained at the
police station Police are investigat-
ing the accident.
Hugh MCGEE. Seventeenth street and
Twenty-frst avenue. was plying his
broom on Second avenue near Eigh-
teenth street at 9 O'Clock this morning.
Other men employed in the street de-
partment were working nearby. Sud
denly they heard a cry and turned.
MCGEE was lying on the pavement. A
iitbus brought up to a stop. The
driver came back.
W. j. Walters. operator Of the bus,
insists that he does not know how the
accident happened. He says that the
front of his machine did not strike
Niece. He tells the police the rear
end must have swung around and
struck him.
This does not sound plausible to
police. The wound to McGee's hip is
too severe to be a Craze" They think
he was struck by the front Of the ma
chine with force.
MCGEE does not know whether the
front Of the car struck him or not. He
was badly injured. so much so that he
was able to talk only little. DR.. JOS
eph De Silva was summoned to the
police station. where MCGEE was taken
