at Sixth street and Evelyn avenue,
when A. iBruuken, who was riding a

rolet car owed by Alice M. Bacon
and driveu by Frank Shearer.
Mr. Brunken's left leg was brokeu
in two places, above and below the

bruises. He Is an operator at the

Just how the accident ocpurred has

center of the highway at the sharp
turn to avoid the motorcycle.
