              CAPTAIN DAVID SIDNEY STEPS FROM CAR
                        TO DEATH
                        
              Chauffeur WM. LEWIS Sounded Warning
               and Although Running at Slow Rate
               Was Unable to Avoid Accident on
                    Jefferson Avenue
                    
         DAVID SIDNEY, a lake captain, residing at 462
      Fifth street, was run down by an automobile at
      Jefferson and Baldwin avenues yesterday morning
      receiving injuries from which he died at St.
      Mary's hospital.
         Capt. SIDNEY alighted from a Jefferson avenue
      car when the machine operated by WILLIAM LEWIS
      of *** Sixth street, struck him. LEWIS was
      driving the machine at a slow rate of speed and
      blew his horn but the man failed to hear the
      warning and was unable to avoid him as several
      trucks were on his side of the road.
         Capt. SIDNEY was given temporary aid by Dr.
      H. E. BEVINGTON, of 198 Baldwin avenue, and was
      later taken to St. Mary's hospital in the Detroit
      ambulance.
         Capt. SIDNEY was born in Ireland and had been
      on the lakes since he was fourteen years of age.
      Of late years he was captain of M. B. MILL'S
      yacht Cynthia and when Mr. MILLS left the city
      several years ago he pensioned him. On July 17,
      Capt. SIDNEY was hired by ALBERT H. SCHMIDT to
      run his yacht, the Kaloah, and he was on his
      way to that boat yesterday when he was run
      down by the automobile. He is survived by a
      widow.
