RIBSAND BONES CRUSHED

Dies Without  Recovering Consciousness.

He Was Staggering on the Track. Warned Off by Two Men and Struck by a Car Which Had Been Warned to Look Out for Him.

Henry Moore, of Romulus, was struck by a car on the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor electric line Saturday night and died at midnight Sunday in the university hospital, never recovering consciousness from the time he was struck. The accident occurred in what is known as "Happy Hollow," just east of the Lake Shore crossing in Pittsfield.

The wounded man was brought to this city by the car which struck him. For a long time he was unidentified but a Street member on Huron st. was found about him, which as it was evidently not at Ann Arbor number, led to inquiries being made in Ypsilanti. Mrs. Henry Moore with her two children appeared at the hospital and identified the man as her divorced husband.

The inquest held by Coroner Ball developed the particulars of the accident so that one eau clearly understand how it occurred. Motorman Updyke, who left Ann Arbor at 4:27 p.m. Saturday, when he got within a mile or a mile and a half of Romulus, saw a man on the track approaching him who was ring and as he failed to get off the track when warned, the motorman stopped his car and took the man by the arm and led him into a yard, telling him to keep off the track. At Ypsilanti he notified the dispatcher to warn the other motorman. He identified Moore as the man he met.

Section Foreman Kelso came along the track about 5 o'clock and saw the same man walking on the track towards Ann Arbor. He cautioned him to keep off. The man said he had been drinking too much and was sorry for it, and that he was on his way to Romulus. The foreman told him he was going the wrong way and he turned back. As the men got farther away they saw Iiim turn back again.

Motorman Wingrow said he left Ypsilanti at 5 :30 and was warned to look out for a drunken man on the track. When he got to the bottom of "Happy Hollow," a man suddenly loomed up on the track about 200 feet -ahead of him. He sounded the bell twice, put on the emergency brake and reversed the motor but he could not -stop the car, which was going about 30 miles an hour, in time. The car struck the man on right side and threw him about 4 feet front the track. The car went 4 rail lengths after striking him before it stopped. They picked up the unconscious man and brought him to this city.

Moore's left leg was broken above the ankle. His right arm was broken above and below the elbow and every rib but one on his right side was broken. The fractured ribs pressed in upon his lung so that a pint of blood was found in the cavity of his chest. An empty half pint flask was found on his person. He had no money.
