Tl'hrown From a Road Wagon He is Picked Up Unconscious and Taken lnto Dr. Hitchcock’s. ' Fred Waters, a former and favorably xknown dry goods salesman at the Bos- ton Dry Goods store, was the victim of a serious accident this morning on West avenue. Mr. Waters was driving down. West a venue in a road" wagon and was leading a horse hitched by a halter to the rear of his wagon. I A short distance behind, in a car- rriage, was Dr. and Mayor-elect Coburn of South Norwalk, and not far away was Dr. W. J. Tracey. _When near the Dr. Dexter Hitch- cock residence, the horse which Wa- ters was leading became cantankerous and rearing landed its forward feet in the wagon with the result that it was overturned and Waters was hurled against the curbstone, his head strik- ing a hitching-poSt. Dr. Coburn quickly reined up 'his . horse and he and Dr. Tracey lifted” up _. the victim’of the accident, and with the assistance of two others took him into Dr. Hitchcock’s office. Waters was in an unconscious state but later revived, his first speech being, “Where am I?” Being told he then asked “Where is my mother ‘9” and again lapsed into unconsciousness. Dr. Hitchcock was not at his office at the time of the accident, being absent on professional calls. . I A partial examination of Waters“ injuries by Dr. Coburn and Tracey re- sulted in the finding that he had' sustained severe contusions on the right side of his head and that his right hip and leg had been severely bruised and contused, and that he had suffered a severe shaking up of his entire anatomy. It was not deemed advisable at the time to have him transferred to his home, at the corner of Merwin street and West avenue. He had regained consciousnessat one o’clock this afternoon, but it is believed that‘it will be some days before he is able to go out for a drive. He will be taken to his home this afternoon. ' The wagon was badly wrecked, but the horses were stopped before doing .1 any damage. v -——————-—-‘0.0D-————— Will Paint Town Red.
