IN  SERIOUS  CRASH
----------
HOOSIER  SUFFERS  BROKEN  BACK
IN  MOTOR  ACCIDENT  IN COLORADO
----------
Cripple Creek, Colo., Sept 26
          Paralyzed from the waist down as the result of an automobile smash-up in
which he suffered a broken back, 22-year-old  Harold Hirschauer  was in a hospital here with only a slim chance to recover, doctors said yesterday.  Hirschauer came here from Shelbyville, Ind., three months ago and leased a mine.  He was driving a truck from the mine when the vehicle got out of control on a steep hill last Tuesday, pinning him beneath it when it overturned.  An operation was performed Thursday in which splinters from the fractured vertebra were removed.  Hirschauer had not been informed that a group of Shelbyville residents suffered cuts and bruises Saturday in an accident at Leavenworth, Kans., while motoring to see him.  They were his mother, Mrs. Gus Hirschauer;  his fiancée, Miss Rosamond Vandergriff; her mother,  Mrs. James Vandergriff; and  Earl Kelly, the driver.
