FOUR MORE MEN
FLlRT WITH DEATH
Two Seriously Hurt in Au-
to Collision on South
Sheridan Road.
OFFICERSBLAME SPEED


Two Milwaukee men were severely
injured and third had miraculous
escape on Thursday night just after
six o'clock when a light Ford truck
owned by and driven by Harry Silber-
man of Milwaukee collided with an
automobile driven by F. R. ZeIler Of
Waukegan. The truck turned over
completely and SHERMAN and his
father, Henry SHERMAN, and Sam
Goldstein, all of Milwaukee, were bur
led under the debris Of the wrecked
truck. TIE men were taken out from
under the truck and their faces were
smeared with blood and they appeared
to be very seriously injured.
An ambulance was summoned and
they were brought to Kenosha and
taken to the Office Of DR.. A. L. Chris
Jefferson. The elder SHERMAN had
been very severely injured. He was
cut about the head and face and suf-
fered from severe injuries to his back.
Harry SHERMAN, the driver, was also
badly hurt, his face being cut and he
had bruises all over his body. Gold
stein was not severely injured although
he had been buried under the body of
the truck and the cargo. 1t was said
that his only injury was scratch on
his arm. Both the Waukegan and the
Milwaukee automobiles were badly
damaged and both cars were taken to
the Pabst garage for repairs.
Accuse Each Other of Blame.
Turnkey Peter Schulien of the coun-
ty jail went out to make an investiga-
tion of the accident and found Silber-
man and his son hopping the blood
from their faces in order to permit
them to argue with Zeller as to who
had been responsible for the accident.
There was a decided difference of
opinion between the drivers of the au-
tomobiles and Silberman and Zeller
both charged negligence on the part of
the other. Deputy Schulien finally
brought the men to town and after the
injuries had been dressed the men APP
peared and gave bonds to appear in
Kenosha on May DIST at which time it
is expected that the whole accident
will be investigated in court.
Zeller escaped without any serious
injury and he went to Waukegan by
train early in the evening. The two
injured men were able to go to their
homes in Milwaukee later in the even
ing.
The officers insisted that too much
speed on the part OF both drivers APP
peared to have been responsible for
the accident.
Protest of Auto Speed.
Many complaints have been received
on the speed that is being shown by
automobiles on Sheridan road and mo-
torcycle officers have been ordered to
give especial attention to this high
way and to arrest the driver Of every
automobile found going at rate of
speed in excess of that allowed by law.
Auto accidents featured the reports
of both the sheriff and the police on
Thursday night. Several minor acct
dents were reported.
Malicious Mischief Too.
Bert L. Shaw, former member of the
board of education, had the most
unique claim of the evening. He
claimed that four tires on his automo-
bile were slashed with knife. Shaw
had left his automobile standing at
the corner of Durkee avenue and Eng
lish court at eight o'clock in the even
ing. When he went back at eleven the
tires were fiat and when an investiga-
tion was made, it was found that all of
the tires had been cut, presumably
with knife. The case was reported
to the police and search was made
but no arrests. The loss to Shaw on
account Of the damage to the tires will
be considerable.
