better, Mr. Hatter was suffering
from burps to his leg sustained
whe'ri^he came in contact with the
hot engine. ‘
In writing of the accident the
Huron 1 Expositor says; ‘‘The truck .
was proceeding west when for some
reason it left the road, ran along
the sidewalk and crashed into a
tree. So greaft was the impact that
the engine was driven into the
cab and when the wrecked truck
was pulled away it fell through to
the pavement. The force of the im
pacts swung the ‘truck around so
that the platform was resting on the
verandah of the Crawley home.”
Mr. Wm, Code, the most ser
iously injured^ of the thi?ee who
were in the cab, suffered a frac
tured jaw, a fractured skull, a pos
sible fractured wrist and extensive
