ACCIDENT MAY Be
FATAL TO POPULAR
METHODIST PASTOR
DR.. J. ]. Dickey Is Badly Injured
When Struck By Automobile ut

injuries which may prove fatal when
he was struck by an automobile

driven by Charles Brooken, colored
chauffeur, at Third and Market street
thfs morning at about 9 o'clock.
The aged pastor had just left the
Ledger Office where he had written the
weekly Sunday School lesson for this
paper, and was en- route to the other
newspaper offices to leave his weekly
church announcement. He was cross
ing Third on the east side Of Market.
Brooken was driving West on Third

members of the Fitch family in the
machine who we're going to attend a
funeral The driver was arrested by
Chief Of Police Ort on charge of fast
driving.
There seems to be considerable diff
ference among the eye witnesses as
to Just how the accident happened but
1t appears that the machine was NOV
ing at good rate Of speed. The driver
sounded his horn and the aged min
lister is said to have stepped back in
an effort to get out of the way Of the
approaching car. He was thrown up
onto the front of the machine and car
ried some distance before he dropped
to the pavement and was run over
His right thigh is broken as is also his
right shoulder, his right arm is also
broken above the elbow and the right
leg Is again broken just above the
knee.
Physicians cannot say at this TIME
whether he is internally injured OF
not but because of his advanced age
1t Is feared he will not recover from
such serious injuries. At 3:15 hospita
authorities reported he was resting a.
