WAS ON D., Y., A.A. & J. CAR WHICH JUMPED THE TRACKS

Accident Happened in Detroit Tuesday--Mr. East Taken to His Home

Miss Elizabeth East, daughter of Thomas East, who, with his wife, was on the D., Y., A. A. & J. railroad car which jumped the rails in Detroit Tuesday, says that her father received three bad gashes in the head and was injured internally. Shortly after the accident he was removed to his home n Pittsfield, where he is said to be in a quite serious condition. Mrs. East, his wife, was not badly injured, only receiving a severe shaking up.

The car to which the accident occurred was out-bound about three-quarters of a mile from the city limits. It was bowling along at a high rate of speed and jumped the track without a moment's warning. Eight persons were seriously injured.
