Northrup Is Severely Injured in Motor Crash Police Magistrate C. T. Northrup is confined to his home at 1144 Tower road, suffering from injuries sustained in an automobile accident Tuesday eve- ning while driving to his home from his office at 556 Center street. He left the office about 5 o'clock, going north on Center. On the east side of that street, in front of B. W. Blow's office, 660 Center, was parked a large truck belonging to the Blow company. A driver had left it to run into the office a few minutes, and had not turned on the parking lights nor the tail light, it was stated. Two or three cars parked on the west side of the street, also, and, coming from the north, Mr. Northrup says, were two or three cars with bright lights, all of which caused him to run into the truck. He was driving at a rate of only about 15 miles an hour, but the impact threw him against the steering wheel with sufficient force to couse painful injuries to his chest and abdomen. The car was badly damaged. He has been confined to his bed all week, and it is said will probably be there another week or so. Dr. B. E. Fillis, of 1056 Gage street, assures Mr. Northrup, however, that there are no internal injuries and that no bones were broken, which is about the only cheering feature the magistrate can see in this thing of being laid up at this otherwise joyous Christmas holiday season. Miss Elizabeth P. Richards, oldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. A: Rich- ards, 739 Lincoln avenue, will return to college on the Wellesley Special next Tuesday.
