There were three other young men."
all students with young Bartlett at
the Harstrom Preparaory school, who
were injured in the accident, who are
loing nicely today. The most ser-
iously injured is Richard “fplker. of
158 Loring avenue. Pelham. N. Y..

cuts and bruises. Ozel W'alker. of
Erie. Pu... who rooms on Mott'avenue.
received a sprained ankle while Josiah
Bacon. of 100 St. Paul street, Brook-
llne Mass. received a fractured left
shoulder. He is at the hospital.
It was erroneously stated in yester-
day's Sentinel. due to a. confusion of,
names at tire hospital that Richard
Walker was not seriously injured. and
that it was the other \Valker who re-
ceived the severe injuries.
There has been no arrest in the ac-
cident as yet, as it is believed that the
fault lay with young Bartlett, who
cut to the left to pass an automobile
operated by Nathan Fromer, and who
went directly on to the tracks. head-
on in front of a. south-bound trolley
