Eugene read a report of the accident
in the next mornings paper. He was
r on the train, having just left for New
z York, on business, and with less leis
d ure would probably have overlooked
: the obscure item:
:, LEGS BROKEN.
:, G.. A. Minafer, an employee of the Ak
u ers Chemical company, was run down b,
an automobile yesterday at the corner o
!, Tennessee and Main and had both leg
broken. Mfnafer was to blame for tn,
:. accident, according To Patrolman F. A
\ Kax, who witnessed the affair The auto

Cottleman of 2l73 Noble avenue, who stat

inence in the city. He was taken to tn
City hospital, where physicians STATED
q later that he was suffering from interna
p injuries besides the fracture of his legs
but might recover.
