    • Motorist Escapes Death as Passenger Train Hits Auto And Carries Him 400 Feet

      Joseph Bealckus, 432 Forty-sixth street, Rock Island, experienced a miraculous escape from death shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon when the small touring car he was driving was completely demolished by an east-bound passenger train in Moline. The accident occurred at the Sixteenth street crossing.

      Bealckus received several scratches about the face and shoulders, a laceration of the scalp and numerous body bruises.

      Bealckus' car was picked up bodily by the speeding engine and carried for about 400 feet before the train could be brought to a stop. Bealckus was unable to escape from the car and was taken with it until just before the train halted, when he was thrown headlong into the cinders along the right of way.

      G.F. Coburn, Moline policeman who guards the crossing, and a number of eye witnesses, stated that Coburn was standing in his accustomed place in the center of the street with arms outstretched to halt traffic when Baelckus turned onto the tracks from Fourth avenue. The latter was traveling westward before he turned. Coburn claimed Bealkus disregarded the signal and drove onto the tracks before throwing on his brakes, stopping the machine squarely in the trains's path.

      Others who witnessed the smashup were Kenneth Waller, 2418 Thirteenth street, and Leonard Nelson, 2311 Twelfth street, both of Moline.

    • Jail Prisoner Goes Home For Clothes; Fails to Come Back

      Joseph Bealckus, arrested at his home at 432 Forty-sixth street, Rock Island, Dec. 14 last, and sentenced to serve 60 days in the county jail, cut his sentence in half yesterday afternoon when he "French leave" from the officers who allowed him to work in the jail yard as a trusty.

      Bealckus was at work scattering sand on the icy walks when the wintry blasts reminded him of some warm coats he had at his home. He told some of his fellow prisoners he was going to get some clothes at his home, because they had been denied him at the jail.

      This afternoon, Bealckus appeared at the Moline State bank to draw out $100 of his money in that institution, as the sheriff had anticipated.

      He was detained while the Moline police were called and he was taken into custody and he was taken into custody and returned to the county jail to serve the rest of his sentence.
