Eminence, Ky., Dec. 20. --- Dr. E. E. Bickers, physician and Mayor of Eminence, was injured seriously at 6 p.m. when he was struck first, by the automobile of Police Judge Roud O'Nan then by the automobile of Johnny Marcum, pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. The accident occurred on Main St., in the business section.
Dr. Bickers was taken to his home and attended by Dr. A. P. Dowden and Dr. Maurice Bell. Mrs. Bickers and their son, Kenneth Bickers, were in Louisville, unaware of the accident.
Judge O'Nan had just pulled from the curb when his fender struck Dr. Bickers hurling him out into the street. The men were next door neighbors on Elm St. and both were on their way home.
Dr. Bickers fell in the path of Marcum's automobile. The ball player, driving into town from his home near here, stopped before his back wheels had passed over the victim.
