POLICE PATROL HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE {
Motorman on Street Car
Takes it into His Head
to Back Up.

Last night about six o'clock. while
taking on passengers at the corner ot
state and Holman street. Hammond a
motorman on a Chicago Green Line car
suddenly. without warning. backed his
car UP into the Hammond police patrol
which was waiting about five feet in
back OF the car.
Had it not been for the quick work
of Carl Fandri. who was driving, in re-
versing the patrol would have been
smashed. as it was both tenders were
broken.
No reason could be given for backing
the car up at that time as passengers
we're still getting on.
Motormen are said to be altogether too
careless about backing up their cars on
the congested streets Of Hammond. as
many times lately automobiles and Pc
destrians have had narow escapes from
injury and many complaints have been
made at the police station.
