MISS ANNA
PALzER STRUCK
BY TRUCK
Young Woman is Slightly Injured
When She is Hit by Motor Car
Emerging from Alley-way.

The following clipping taken from
a Kenosha paper will be of interest to
many people in this city as the young
lady mentioned is a sister of Mrs. H.
B. Weiland, and has been frequent
visitor at the Weiland home.
Miss Anna Palzer was painfully
but not seriously injured on Monday
afternoon when she was struck by one
of the Barden Store trucks at the
alley-way between the Robinson Book
Store and the English Hardware Com
pany. The accident occurred in mid
afternoon and consequently caused
some excitement on Main street. Miss
Palzer was knocked down by the
impact of the car, and although she
was not run over, her injuries were
such as to require the services of
the Hansen ambulance, which was sum
moned to the scene and hurried her
away to the Kenosha hospital.
Eye-w witnesses of the accident report
that Miss PaIzer was walking south
on Main street and had started to
cross the alley when she noticed the
approaching truck She started to
wait, it seems, and then, judging from
the expression of the driver, decided
that he intended to wait for her. Ac-
cordingly she started across again and
was struck by the fender Of the car
The impact was sufficient to throw her
heavily to the street and to render her
faint if not unconscious. The truck
driver and pasers-by ran to her as
5istance, found that she was unable to
walk, and summoned the ambulance
which carried her to the hospital
in record time.
Subsequent examinations showed
hat she had been badly bruised and
shocked but not seriously injured. Her
limbs were painfully hurt but no bones
were broken and an early recovery is
expected. Inasmuch as internal in
juries were feared, however, she was
Kept at the hospital over night in order
that close watch on her condition
might reveal any symptoms of organic
disturbances. Late this afternoon she
vas resting well and apparently on the
road to convalescence. Miss Palzer
lives at $50 Rowland avenue and is
well known on the west side.

insurance asked by stock companies
represented in the national compensa-
tion service bureau of New York were
refused in q statement which has just
been issued by the compensation insur-

The grounds on which the refusal was
based are that the Wisconsin COM

collect excessive rates if the increase
asked for by the foreign companies
