H. W. HAYDEN IN ACCIDENT
President Of Pullman Motor Car Co,
Breaks Arm.

III, w. Hayden. president OF the
Pullman Motor Car Company, suffered
a broken arm and severe internal In
turies early this week when the car
he was driving skidded over an EN-.
bankment and was partly turned over.
Hayden, whose custom IL In TO drive
alone whenever difficult problems pre-.
sent themselves, took out HIS car on a
run into the country on Tuesday. The
slushy condition OF the roads around
York made motor car travel extremely
hazardous, and, rounding n sharp left
turn, another car, moving from the
opposite direction at a good speed APP
peared around the bend. Hayden ap.
piled his brakes, but the car side.
swiped and slid over the right.hand
embankment, burying it's driver un.

Hayden has always been a promi-
