WELL. KNOWN
CONDUCTOR.
IS MANNED
Herbert Melville, Green Line
Conductor, Loses Leg and
Is in Gary Hospital.

Herbert Melville. well known among
citizens Of Hammond and especially
among patrons Of the Green Line where
he has for the past fourteen years been
employed as a conductor. was the victim
this morning Of a collision between a
Green line. car and a switch engine OF
the General American Tank Car Cor
poration and suffered the loss of his
left leg.
The accident occurred about nine
o'clock at the Green line track crossing
between the two parts Of the General
American plant. At this point the COM
pany has two tracks running between
the two plants. both of which con-
stitute one stop for the street cars
since they are only fifteen or twenty
feet apart Melvills car was going to-
ward Indiana Harbor and had made the
stop at the first of the two tracks
Melville ran ahead TO the second track
and signalled for the car to come ahead
As the rear end of the street car was
passing over the second track. Melville
swung on to the rear platform and al
most at the same time the rear end of
the street car was struck by a string Of
cars coming from the east. Melville
had not yet stepped from the step onto
the platform and the bumper of the car
caught his left leg al the knee. COM
pletely severing the limb at that point.
Street car officials are una bile to IN
derstand how the accident could have
happened since Melville has during his
long term of service always been con-
sidered to be more than ordinarily
cautious. 1t is evident that he did
not see the approaching cars or If he
did see them thought they were stand
ing still. otherwise he would not have
swung on 10 the platform Immediately
in front OF the cars. Street car pa
irons also know Melville as perhaps
the most cautious of the Green Line
conductors. He always insists on the
doors being closed before the car
starts and never attempts to beat a
train across If there is the least doubt.
Immediately following the accident
the injured man was taken to Mercy
hospital at Gary in the General Amer
lean emergency car. None of the pas
sengers were injured although some
were badly shaken up. The rear end
of the car was rather badly smashed
but the collision was not sharp enough
to derail the car.

OWNERS SUE
FOR STOREROOM

Alleging that a representative Of the
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. took
advantage of the age and poor eyesight
Of the owners OF store building in or
der TO Sip over contract which was
different from the agreement they had
rea he'd. Peter and Lizzie Senzig have
brought suit for possession of the
building x 674 South Holman st. Ham
mond, now occupied by the branch
store of the tea company.
The complaint filed this morning by
Attorneys McMahon & Conroy in the
Hammond superior court says that the
property was owned by Mary Terre on
April 5. 1919, when the place was leased
to the tea company. The plaintiff says
that Mrs. Terre and her husband were
past eighty years old and neither could
see well. The agent of the company
it IS said had agreed TO rent the room
a $500 per year and for one year only.
4 lease was drawn and read to the
aged people. Not until ninety days be-
fore the close the first year did they
know that the specifications were not
as they had believed Then it vas
learned that clause granted the COM
pany the option Of renewing the lease
a the old rate of rental for three con-
secutive years. The plaintiff says that
this clause was not read to the aged
people when the lease was gone over.
The Senzig's purchased the property
last March and are confronted with the
lease which allows the tea company to
hold the place for three more years II
they 50 desire. The property is said to
be worth $4,000 and the rental of s25
per month is claimed to be riduclously
low.
The complaint asks the court to de-
clare the renewal clause null and void
and to grant the plaintiffs possession at
once with $4,000 damages for unlawful
detention of the property
