- HTee duUOIHODlle acclQenCS IN as
many days in the city of New Ulm is the
record for the week just passed. It is
not an enviable record and apartfrom the
inscrutiable power OF destiny and fate
there must be some other causes or
circumstances which have to be made
responsible for it.. Speeding, in many
cases the cause of an accident, is said
to have been practiced by many inside
the city limits in spite of ordinance
regulations prohibiting it. Other pro-
visions enacted for the safety Of the
general public have been and are being
violated too frequently. This seems to
be the general consensus of opinion in
the community. 1t also may be asked
whether always and under all circum-
stances the necessary precaution is icing
exercised and whether parents use the
utmost care in the supervision Of
their children.
Ed. Kunze Hit.
People were shocked on Saturday
morning by the news of the sad fate that
befell tailor Ed. Kunze the evening
before. It even was said that he had
died from the injuries received in an
automobile accident that occurred at
the corner of Broadway and First South
street. Mr.. Kunze was on his way
home accompanied by Edward Tom
schin when he was struck by the overland
car driven by Herman Siebenbrunner,
according to the police. The front
wheel struck his heel and threw him on
the ground, with such force that he
suffered fracture at the base of the
skull with internal hemorrhage. The
impact at his heel caused a double
fracture of the bones Of the ankle making
it appear that the car ran over his foot
The accident happened at about
10 o'clock Friday evening and Mr.
Kunze was on his way home from his
tailoring establishment on North Mime
sofa street. According to the police
report, the Tomschin boy walked few
feet behind his companion when they
crossed First South street. They almost
had crossed the street when Edward
Tomschin saw the car approaching and
leaped out OF the way passing Mr.. Kunze,
A moment later he turned around and
saw the latter on the ground. Help
was soon called and Mr. Kunze was
taken to P. Crafts livery barn where
first aid was given him by several doctors
He was in a state of uncenscioIsness
and his transfer to the Loretto hospital
was ordered Immediately. At first the
outlook for his recovery did net seem
very favorable, according to a statement
of the attending physician, although
his pulse was very good. At the time
of this writing, his condition has improved
materially although he is still uncon-
scious most of the time. He regained
consciousness Tuesday morning when
he recognized the attending physician
and was able to say a few words.
Little safert Is. Hurt.
The second accident occurred Sunday
morning about 1880. Little seven
year old Henry Safert, on OF Louis
Saffert was trying to cross Minnesota
street in front of the Citizens State
Bank. He ran between two automobiles
that we're parked there and directly
in front Of another car passing by in a
southernly direction Fortunately, this
car which was driven by Sam Mirhin Of
Sioux City, Ia, was going at a slow pace,
according to eye-witnesses, otherwise
the accident might have been much more
serious. The boy was thrown on the
grourd, but to all appearance the car
did not pass over him. He was bruised
about the face and mouth. Upon
examination it was found by the attend
ing physician that his injuries were not
very serious.
