TAKEN BACK HOME
Iowa City Man. Injured in Fatal Auto
Crash son Arsenal Feb. 26,
Makes Wonderful Recovery.

c. C. Carroll, Iowa City newspaper
man, who was badly injured in the ia
tai automobile accident on Fort Arm
strong avenue, RCck Island arsenal,
on the night OF Feb. 26, and who has
been confined to st. Anthony's hos
pital in this city since that time, was
today taken TO his home. DR.. Joseph
DeSilTa, the attending physician,
states Carroll will recover and fur
thermore that he will suffer no i'll eff
fects from his trying experience.
Carroll was sitting with H. c. Mon
ahan, owner and driver of the auto,
when it crashed head on into Bridge
line car. He was thrown violently
against the windshield. He sustained
a compound fracture of the skull part
of the bone being driven into the
brain. The bone at the elbow and his
collar bone were also broken and he
suffered severe bruises about the
body.
Conclusion of the brain resulted
and he lay unconscious for over three
weeks and his case was considered
hopeless. Monahan. who suffered d
similar injury to the skull, died two
days after the accident. A delicate
operation was performed on Carroll,
the skull being crushed in such a
manner that it was necessary to re-
move portion of the bone The op-
Grafton was successful and he grad
ualy received consciousness. Carroll
retains all of his mental faculties. A
strong constitution aided him in his
recovery. The case is one of the most
interesting to come to the attention of
local physicians in several years.
