and R. C. Stinson, fireman of Con
cord, N. C., is under a bond oi
$1500 to appear at the December

sult of an automobile accident which
occurred in Pisgah National Forest
late Tuesday afternoon.
Miss Crane was in a party of six
ladies who had arrived in Hender
sonville last Sunday night, register
ing at the Ames hotel. Tuesday they
engaged a seven-passenger Buick car
from the Shipman garage, with Hil
liard Stepp driving, and started out
to view the matchless scenes from
the top of Mount Pisgah. The party
crossed the mountain from the
Candler side, and were descending
on the Brevard side. At a point
about three-quarters of a mile from
i lie Brevard entrance to the park,
Stepp claims his car met a Hudson
touring car. which crowded him to
the edge of the roadway, and the
bank crumbled, his car left the high
v;i\ | lunged down a 30-foot em
bankment, turned completely over
and pinned the unfortunate woman
beneath the car in the water's edge
of Davidson river.
Miss Crane and Miss Marguerite
Meehan were on the front seat with
the driver, while Mrs. Hattie Crane,
the dead woman's mother; Mrs. M.
T. Vick and daughter, Miss Ruth,
and Miss Janet Mitchell, were on
the back seats. Miss Meehan was
injured, but all others escaped with
minor bruises and scratches, while
the driver of the ill fated car was
also uninjured. Miss Crane's neck
was broken, according to announce
.. ..i inane by Coroner. E. S. Eng
lish, and many other bruises and cuts
about the head, body and legs were
noticeable.
Employes of the Hoosier Engin
eering company, working nearby,
rushed to the aid of the injured
party, and succeeded in dragging
the "body of the dead woman from
underneath the car, which soon
caught tire and burned all parts of
the car that was not covered with
water. CI. C. Kilpatrick was noti
fied. and rushed to the scene with
ambulance and hearse. Sheriff T. E.
i'att >n. Jr., and his deputies were
on the ground within a short time
utter the accident. The five women
were rushed to the Transylvania
Hospital, and given medical atten
tion. c oroner English soon was on
nc. and ordered the body re
moved to the Kilpatrick Undertak
i . v.i. .is. Sheriff Patton placed
Stepp under arrest.
Upon Stepp's assertion that a
Hudson touring car had crowded
him off the highway, and upon the
further evidence given by employes
of the Hoosier Engineering company
who were working nearby that they
iiatt seen such a car pass, Sheritt
Patton sent deputies into the forest
in search of the car. A few miles
above the scene of the accident the
officers met a Hurson car, returning
to Brevard. It was driven by R. C.
St nson, of Concord, X. C., and with
him were D. B. Koikes. Dick White.
K. C. White, F. C. Carroll, all of
Concord, and Dr. Carl Hardin,
prominent dentist of Brevard. These
men asserted that they had passed
no car since entering the govern
ment land except a Chevrolet car,
which they had passed on Avery s
Creek, some distance from the scene
in question. , ,
Mr. Stinson was neiu, nu?c?ci,
for a coroner's jury investigation.
The following citizens were sum
moned to act as jury: B. J. Sit
ton. H. C. Aiken, Goode Loftis,
J. C. Hendrix, Mitchell Neely and
Hale Siniard. The jury, with the
coroner, viewed the body in the un
dertaking parlors, and then repaired
to the court house, where the session
listen until 1:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
'? tier many witnesses had testi
fied, the jury brought in the follow
ing verdict:
We. the Coroner's jury find that
the Hudson car did meet the Buick
car and crowded the Buick off the
road. We recommend that R. C.
Stinson, driver of the Hudson, be
held for the Grand Jury which sits
at the December term of court."
Bond in the sum of $1500 was de
manded of the Concord man, which
was given.
Ralph R. Fisher, solicitor in the
County Court, appeared for the
state at the investigation; Wm. E.
Breese represented Mr. Stinson, and
Senator T. C. Galloway represented
Mr. Stepp, driver of the Buick.
Among the many witnesses exam

the highway. Charlie McCrary, em
ploye of Hoosier Engineering com
pany, testified he lifted the wires ir
assisting a Hudson car to pass jusl
a minute and a half or two minutes
before he heard a crash around th(
bend of the road.

Order of the Eastern Star presented ,
an enjoyable program at the high i
school auditorium Monday evening. 1

were vocal selections, readings, solo,
chorus and povelty dances and two
one-act plays ,one of which was en

cently been organized in Brevard, j
Jessie McAmis
An unusually sad death occurred I
last Thursday, when Jessie McAmis, I
ten-year-old daughter of Mr. anil }
Mrs. H. J .McAmis, died, following
an operation for removal of tonsils,
The McAmis family lives in Hender
sonville, and the little girl was
briught here for the operation to be
performed^ by her uncle, Dr. Robert
L. Stokes.' The operation had been
completed, and the little patient was
placed in the usual position follow
ing such operations, when embolism j
caused death.
A blood clot, it is said by sur
geons, strikes the respitory center
and stops breathing, while heart
action continues for some time, as in
this case. It is said the little girls'
heart continued beating for some
twenty minutes after she had stop
ped breathing.
Funeral services were held Fridav
night at the Baptist church, with
Rev. W. H. Hartsell and Rev. Shoun. j
of Washington, D. C., conducting!
the services. Interment was made j
at Gillespie cemetery.
The little girl was a favorite with j
her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs.
R. L. Stokes, and the Brevard sur- .
geon and his wife were deeply touch- j
ed by the many kindnesses shown |
them and the parents of the cliildj
by Brevard people during their j
troubled days. ; t

jBIG CROWD GREETS
I THE MEN'S WEDDING
Local talent again demonstrated
their ability to captivate a large
audience with an evening's enter
tainment of fun and laughter, when
men of the town presented the Wom
anless Wedding Thursday evening at
the high school auditorium. The
event was given under the auspices
of and for the benefit of the four
churches of the town, and was direct
ed by Mrs. Ralph Fisher.
A packed house greeted the bridal
party as they entered the auditor
ium, each escorted to the stage by
the ushers and properly introduced.
From the time of entrance of the
first member of the bridal party to
the last number on the pragram, the
house was kept in an uproar, the
large audience evidently enjoying
the evening's fun to the fullest.
All participants in the wedding,
from the bride, J. H. Pickelsimer,
and groom, Verne Clement, down to
the little flower girl, Lewis Johnson, '
all received hearty applause and ;
evoked peals of laughter from the |
responsive audience. The costumes
were ludicrous, though particularly
appropriate to the various charac- 1
ters represented, and added much to I
the enjoyment of the occasion.
Many expressions of delight over
the enjoyment of the entertainment
were heard from those in attend
ance, and a neat sum for the benefit
of the four churches of the town
was realized, it is understood.

LAWN FESTIVAL IS
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
Franklin Hotel's spacious lawns
presented a scene of beauty and
charm Tuesday afternoon and night,
when members of the Guild of St.
Philips Episcopal church staged then
annual lawn festival for the benefit
of the church building fund.
The afternoon was given over to
the sale of fancy articles, eatables
and attractions in the various tent
booths scattered about the lawn. The
event of the evening was in the na
ture of a gypsy fete, the gypsy
theme being carried out in the dif
ferent numbers appearing on the
program. Those taking part in the I
evening's entertainment wese attired ,
in attractive costume appropriate to ?
the occasion, all combining to present
a delightful scene and an equally en- 1
joyable program. Including in the
varied program were several solo I
gypsy dances, vocal solos, a mysteri- ]
ous dance of the nymph and the ,
fawn, vocal duets, and the conclud- j
ing of the program by several se- 1
lections of the negro spirituals by j
the Silver Lee Quartet.
Out of town talent contributed
much toward the evening's enjoyment
with their music and dancing, and
among the local offerings on the pro
gram which were apparently especial
ly delightful to the audience was the
vocal duet by Misses Dorothy and
Adelaide Silversteen, singing "Caro
lina Moon" and an equally enjoyable
encore. Alvin Moore's vocal solo,
"Danny Deever" and Nancy Macfie's
solo gypsy dance also were most
favorably received by the large aud
ience witnessing the program.
Adding further to the effectiveness
of the occasion were the numerous
vari-colored tiny electric lights strung
in pleasing effect about the lawn and |
surrounding the natural outdoor i
stage where the program was present- 1
ed. The fortune telling booth anil
various attractions provided for th' j
children all contributed much toward j
the success of the event. Ice cream i
and cake and other delicacies were
served during the afternoon and eve- |
ning on small tables attractively ar-|
ranged about the lawn.

PISGAH FOREST WINS FROM CANTON
3-2; BREVARD LOSES TO MARSHALL 7-6
Carrmen Win Their Game In
Ninth Inning ? Nine Hits ;
In Entire Game
i
Pisgah Forest "took the lion by (
the beard" and forced him to jump
through the loop Saturday afternoon
when they defeated the classy
Canton Y team 3-2 on the hitter's
home ground.
The game was an undecided vic
tory until the ninth frame. Both
teams were playing a first class
kind of ball and hits were noticeably
scarce throughout the game. Gibson,
for Pisgah Forest, allowed only six
hits during the nine innings, while |
Fish, for Canton, let the Carrmen
down with three.
Pisgah Forest scored first in the
third when Morris was safe on an
error by the catcher, safe on second
when the second baseman erred, and
came home on a two-bagger by Gib
son.
Canton retaliated by scoring two
in the fourth. Cater, first man up,
was hit by pitcher stole second, and
came home on a two-bagger by Price.
Price was safe at home when Smath
ers, who followed him connected
for a long single. Again in the sixth
: and the seventh, Canton was near
I scoring when they got two hits in
| each frame, but failed to cross the
'? plate, and the two teams went into
j the ninth 2-1 in favor of Canton.
| Osteen, first up for Pisgah, went
out, at first; Ross was safe on an
' error by shortstop; Clayton was out
'to left field; Bryson singled and
j Ross went to second, kept going and
I was safe at third. In the mix-up
j Bryson was safe on secofid, and
j Pruett smacked a perfect "Texas
i Leaguer" over second to tally the
t two needed runs. Morris was out
' pitcher to first. Canton placed th: ee
men up in their half of the ninth,
and those three men sat right back
down ? Cogburn was out to Short i'.'
center in a good stop, and the next
two men were out via strikeouts.
Holt's Crew Fail To Keep Vis-;
itors from Crossing the
Home Plate
Sadness prevailed throughout the 1
game on McLean Field Saturday aft- 1
ernoon, when Marshall put the props
under Holt's Brevard crew for a 7-6 |
win. 1
Inability to be at the right place J
at the right time and do the right I
thing seemed to be the Brevard out- '?
fit's trouble. The Marshall bunch,
who have heretofore been easy pick
ings for the Brevard and Pisgah
teams when on the local diamond,
played a different game altogether
Saturday. They were wearing hit
ting clothes and managed to connect
for eleven safeties, three of which
came in the first inning and two of
the later ones being for circuit
I clouts, coming each time with a man
on. They scored two in the first"
i inning, two in the second, two in the
seventh and one in the ninth.
I Brevard was able to connect safe
ly for ten hits during the game, but
had them scattered over the entire
nine innings. They bunched three
hits in the sixth for their first two
scores. Again in the eighth they
managed to tally three runs and one j
in the ninth.
i Holt, pitching for the locals, was!
touched for ten hits in six and one)
half innings. Payne was more tight :
with his delivery, and allowed only
one hit during- the remainder of
the game, though he walked two men
in the crucial ninth, which, coupled
1 with a perfect infielder tallied the
run needed by Marshall.
Canton Here Saturday
j Canton will play Pisgah here Sat
urday afternoon at 3:30 on McLean
! Field. Brevard goes to Marshall.
I It is expected that local fans will
j see Harry Clayton, dapper little
' shortstop for Pisgah, perform on the
mound for the Carrmen. Payne or
Kilpatrick will hurl at Marshall.
