Perry Likens Run Down By An Auto On No. 11. Stepped Directly in Front of Car Which Was Approaching.
Perry Likens
Perry Likens, aged 65, an inmate of the County Farm, was run over and seriously injured Monday afternoon about four fifty o'clock when he darted across the road in front of a car on Highway No. 11 eight miles south of this city. Likens, we are informed had run away from the farm Monday morning. According to the testimony of the driver who knocked him down, the man was near a bridge on the right side of the road. Instead of waiting for the car to pass, Likens darted across the highway in front of the oncoming car and before the driver could put on his brakes the old man was knocked down. R. A. Arnold, of Norwalk, Iowa was the driver of the car that injured Likens. His friend H. R. Wilson of Davenport, who was driving in his car ahead of Arnold, met the man first, but swerved in time to escape hitting him. He testified that Arnold was not to blame. Likens was taken immediately to the People's Hospital. Both the bones in his ankles were broken, and the bones half way up between his feet and knees were injured. The right femur was also broke and the left hip put out of joint. He also received a bad cut on his forehead. There was little hope for his recovery, because of his age, according to Dr. C. W. Tidball, one of the attending physicians. It was thought the man may have intended committing suicide.
