VICTIMS OF AUTO
CRASH IMPROVING
Is HOSPITAL WORD
Injuries to Officer Olmstead
and His Cousin Serious
But Not Fatal.

Smiles again appeared upon the
faces Of the police officers Wednes-
day evening when word was re-
ceived from the Epworth hospital
that the injuries received by Motor
cycle Officer Bert Olmstead and his
cousin Orvil DeSonia, who were the
victims OF a motorcycle accident
Wednesday noon at Main and
Wayne sts.. would not grove fatal.
Olmstead, with his companion De
Sonia, were answering a call on the
motorcycle shortly before noon
Wednesday.
AS the men reached the corner
Of Main and Wayne SITS, Ira Mack
lin. 1916 s. Michigan St, driving an
Oakland roadster, was going north
on Main St, and attempted 10 turn
TO the left on Wayne ST. According
tn those who witnessed the accident
Macklin saw the approaching
motorcycle but cut the corner,
failing 10 give any signal. Macklin
however, was travelling at a slow
rate Of speed and stopped his auto
mobile just before the crash.
Strikes Fender
The motorcycle struck the front
fender cf the car and forced II
against the engine hood. DeSOnia,
who was riding on the rear seat OF
the motorcycle, was thrown into the
air carrying the tandem seat with
him. Olmstead was lying under
meath the roadster when pedestrians
came 10 his assistance. DeSonia was
placed in the Kreighbaum am
bulance and Olmstead in the police
ambulance. Both men were taken
70 the Epworth hospital.

s:nad with DeSoria were in search
Of Jess O'Donnell, an embezzler from
Troy. Ohio, who was later found
b. the police. The motorcycle was
travelling between 20 and % miles
an hour when the collision occurred.
DeSonia's condition is the more
serious of the two men. He was
badly injured about the head, and
an operation upon his skull was
performed at once. He was in a de-
lirous condition late Wednesday
evening but the hospital authorities
do not think his injuries will prove
fatal
Painful Injuries
Olmstead was painfully injured
about the right hir and received
very bad cash above the left eye
as well as internal injuries When
picked up afteer the collision Ohm
s,ead insisted that the officers let
him lay on the curb while they
chased the embezzler. but all turned
black for him and when he woke
he was IN the hospital. Both men
were resting easy early this morn
ing and the friends OF the injured
motorcycle officer are greatly re-
/ lieved 10 know that the injuries will
not prove fatal Macklin was placed
under arrest by Patrolman Charles
Keller. He was released Wednes-
/ day afternoon on a $1,000 bond.
