Her Collar Bone Broken and Probably Internal Injuries. Airs Annie Doran, of South Norwalk, was knocked down in Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport, yesterday morning, by a bicyclist and sustained painful if not serious injuries. Mrs. Doran arrived in that city Tuesday evening to visit friends in Fairfield avenue. Early in shopping tour. She had just left a store in Fairfield avenue, near Court-’ .«land street, and had reached the trol- hy tracks when three wheelmen scorch- ed up the asphalt roadbed, going to- wards Fairfield, Mrs. Doran says: “I saw two of the wheelmen, and the first I_ knew of the third was when As the The next I realized was when a young man abcll sounded close to me. bell rang I was knocked down. of medium height, clad in a brown suit leaned over me and asked if I was in- jured. I replied that I felt as if I was very seriously hurt and the young man jumped on his wheel and rode aWay. I felt an excruciating pain about my neck and shoulders, and realized noth- ing more until the physician dressed my injuries.” . Eye witnesses who hurried to the scene of the accident found Mrs. Dor- an lying between the rails of the trol- ley road, in a semi-conscious condition. One attempted to stop the lfibicyclist who had caused the unfortunate affair, and commanded him to see the injured woman to her residence, but the wheel- man, upon discovering the seriousness of the mishap, scorched 011‘ before his identity could be ascertained. Airs. Doran was at once removed to a nearby residence. and Dr. Clemens summoned. The physician found the patient suffering from a badly shatter- ed collar bone, the right shoulder dis- located, a painful contusion on theLleft side of the head-11nd a severe shock. Internal injuries were apparent to-day, every indication pointing to such dis- closures. Mrs. Doran, upon learning the extent of her injuiies, requested to be removed to her home in South Nor- walk that she might be placed under the care of her family physician, Dr. Burke, but it was deemed advisable not to remove the patient until the real extent of her-injuries :are disclosed. Mrs. Doran, when seen a few after the accident, was suffering still hours from the shock, and could'onl y describe the bicyclist responsible for the acci- dent as stated above. The affair has not yet been reported to the authorities, but a number of Bridgeport wheelmen have taken up the quest of ascertaining the identity of the person who, from the version of spectators, was wholly responsible for the unfortunate affair. , .— ‘ - 7 Mrs. Margaret G.
