T.H. Ellis of 419 Walker street sustained a sprained angle and injuries about the legs Saturday evening shortly after 9 o’clock when struck by an automobile driven by Will D. Mooney, Durham man, on Main street.
The driver of the car, A Ford, was placed under arrest and required to furnish a bond of $200 for operating a car while under the influence of whiskey.
It was declared that Mooney lost control of the car at the post office intersection of Main and Corcoran streets and ran up on the sidewalk where Mr. Ellis was standing. The pedestrian was knocked down and at first thought to be seriously injured. He was taken to his home where his injuries were treated.
