INJURIES MAY BE FATAL
AGED WOMAN STRUCK BY AN AUTOMOBILE WAS DRAGGED MORE THAN THIRTY FEET

Mrs. E. Tucker, While on Her Way to Church, Suffers Serious Accident. Lincoln
Miller Driver of Machine is Arrested and Held to Grand Jury

While Mrs. E. Tucker, in company with her daughter, Mrs. Jordin, was crossing
south Central avenue at the St. Paul's Methodist church corner on their way to
church last Sunday evening, Mrs. Tucker was struck by a passing autombile and received injuries which may prove to be fatal. She was knocked between thirty and forty feet by the car which ran over her and then went on its way without stopping to see how badly she was hurt. There were a number of eye witnesses to the accident, two of whom picked her up and carried her to the side of the street. As soon as possible she was removed to the Clinic for examination where she still remains in an unconscious condition, being so badly injured it has not been thought best to attempt to take her to a hospital. Owing to her condition it has not been possible to make X-ray or other examinations to find out what bones may be broken or how extensive her injuries are.

No report of the accident was made to the police by those responsible for it,
but Monday afternoon Link Miller, who was driving the car, was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Schessler and arraigned before Justice Freeman, waived
examination and was bound over to the grand jury which meets in September. His bond of $1500 was signed by John Duster. The three young men who were in the car with him were not arrested as the legal responsibility for such an accident runs only against the operator of the car. The penalty for failing to report an accident of this kind and give aid to anyone injured is not less than $500 fine and not more than two years in the penitentiary.

Mrs. Tucker was still in a critical condition last evening. Should she not
recover a more serious charge will be lodged against the young man.

Bystanders say the car was being driven at twenty to twenty five miles an hour
when the accident occurred, but had shortly before been driven up the street at a much faster speed.
