Moyes, the New York Life Insurance agent who resides at No. 214 Twenty-tirst street, and who was accidentally run over by an nutomo-tlk- driven by George Browning last itight at the corner of Grant avenue i nd Twenty-fourth street, la reported lo rather a serious condition today. Mr. Moyes is 5" yearn old and was severely injured by a street car lu Salt Lake four years ago. Inquiries at the family residence by a Standard reporter this afternoon elicited the reply that tho injuries v.ere perhaps of an Internal nature, and attending physicians were reticent retic-ent as to the probable outcome of the Occident. William Moyes, a brother or the injured in-jured man, states that he had Just lett the latter at the comer of Grant and Twenly-tourth street and had proceeded proceed-ed but a short distance when ho was attracted by cries and, turning, he discovered dis-covered his brother lying partly under thf automobile. The driver, Georgo Browning, assisted In extricating Mr. Moyes from his position and then conveyed con-veyed him to the latter's home. Mr. Moyes suffered severe pain during dur-ing tho night and was unconscious at times. Opiates were administered frequently fre-quently and a closo watch kept of his condition. He was apparently struck Across the forehead by somo project-Ins project-Ins part of the machine and dragged for some distance, his body being badly bad-ly bruised over tho kidneys and upon the right thigh, and his head and hands were injured In some manner he managed io grasp one of the lamps cf the machine and thus saved hlm-Eelf hlm-Eelf from being crushed by the wheels. Mr. Browning, when Interviewed regarding re-garding the accident, stated: "I regret exceedingly that the accident acci-dent occurred, especially as Mr. Moyes Is advancod In years and anything any-thing of this nature Is liable to result seriously. I was running my machine rlowly on approaching the crossing, not more than two miles an hour, as I have become thoroughly disgusted nlth the mode of driving practiced by many of tho automobile owners, and have, tried, myself, to adopt the op-)-(Blte rule. Mr. Moyes was going north and did not apparently hear my horn until I was within Ulteen or twenty feet of him. He then became coniusea ami siarica uacKwarus anu forwards once or twice before the machine ma-chine reached him. As soon as I saw that he was not going to clear the machine, ma-chine, I stopped immediately, not, how-over, how-over, before ho fell to the ground. Fortunately he fell In such a position that the machine only ran. partly over him, the wheels not striking him at all. He scrambled to his feet without with-out assistance and I took , him home in the machine. Dr. Pidcock examined exam-ined him twice and stated both times that, beyond a severe shaklng-up, he was apparently not seriously injured." |
