On Monday
last, at Indianapolis, Miss Nellie Stockwell of Cloverdale was badly injured. The
Sentinel says: Miss Nellie Stockwell, living at 37 ½ W. Market St was run down
by a carriage while riding a bicycle on N. Meridian St last night and was
seriously, perhaps fatally injured. Just how the accident happened no one
seemed to know as Miss Stockwell has been unconscious ever since it occurred.
She was carried into the residence of Derk DeRuiter, 1036 N Meridian and Drs.
Wilson, Howard, Harvey and Beard were called. The physicians discovered that
the girls’ spine was injured and every time they attempted to make an
investigation she went into convulsions. She was removed to her home in the
city ambulance and at 2 o’clock this morning the physicians had been unable to
make an examination of her injuries. Miss Stockwell is the daughter of LA
Stockwell of the Noncomformist. The driver of the carriage whipped up his
horses and escaped immediately after the accident and his name could not be
learned. Wednesday morning’s Sentinel gives the following additional
particulars: Miss Nellie Stockwell, who, while riding on her bicycle Monday
evening was struck by a horse recklessly driven to a buggy by an unknown person
was still in an unconscious condition last night and was removed from her home
to St. Vincent’s infirmary. Her condition is considered critical.
