MAGISTRATEI
BADLY HURT IN
CARCOLLISION
ID. ]. CIeIand Drives Auto In Smash.
up With One-Man Bridge Line
Street Car.

Magistrate d. ]. Cleland was SER
iously injured at 1890 o'clock this
morning when an automobile in
which he was riding was struck by
a one-man bridge line car on Third
avenue between Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth street.
Magistrate d. J. C1eland blamed
the locking Of the steering geer on
his car for his inability to avoid the
collision The magistrate did not
say which way he was travelling at
the time of the accident, but told
hospital attendants that the steer
ing apparatus of his car locked and
he came to a head-on collision with
the street car.
The magistrate was riding in a
small sedan The front end was
badly smashed in the wreck and the
magistrate suffered severe bruises
about the head. DR.. Joseph DeSilva,
attending physician, says there is
evidence that the magistrates right
shoulder blade had been broken and
there may be injury to the spine
He was taken to ST Anthony's
hospital Immediately after the &C
cident and X-rays are being taken
to learn the exact nature of his
hurts. Mrs. Cleland said that her
husband had told her that he had
been driving on Third avenue, and
that suddenly his memory went
blank.
John Sutherland, inventor of the
safety appliances on the one-man
cars, was nearby when the accident
occurred, and claim agent for the
company appeared a few minutes
later. Neither could give a state
ment of the accident. No witnesses
had seen the crash.
1t was said that the magistrate
attempted to turn his car in the
middle of the street. The bridge
line car was headed west and the
magistrates car was hit head-on.
The positions of the two vehicles
showed they had come into collision
head-on. The bridge line car was
said to have been travelling west.
Benjamin Deidrick of Davenport
was in charge of the car.
