street, he alighted and upon examlna-

bleeding profusely. Mr.. Macke called
Mr.. Ragatz and together they got the
injured man in the car and took him
to the office of Dr. Kenny who upon
examination discovered that his left
shoulder was dislocated, left eye in
jured and other painful bruises suf-

from the walk which at this particu-
