Mrs. Lorena Catherine Smith
died at Inr tiome on Churt h

What came very near beiniT a
very serious and fat il accident
occurred on Mountain .street
neat the city limit Friday after
noor when an automobile struck
two ctiildren at play. Master
At.vood McDaniel, need it, son
of Mr. and Mrs. G.'.I. McDaniel,
had his coMar bone broken and a
shoulder dislocated. Master G.
Ii. Wrii;h, age !t, son of Mr. and
Mr. John Wright, was badly
bruised and shocked. The two
little boys were playing with a
little w.vgcn. the McDaniel boy
in the vagon irid the Wt'ght
bov oushiiig it. The McDaniel
hov saw tlie machine in time to
to evert tie; accident and called
to the Wright boy who on ac
count of the wind didn't hear
him. Tho Wright boy was blind
in one eye and the blind side
was next to the approaching
machine so he didn t see it. The
machine struck the wagon do
molisbing it and throwing the
McDc'iiol b:y several feet. The
Wright boy was kno;-aed down.
The driver of Ihe machine, whose
name ooboiy seems to know,
succeeded in stooping it in time
to keep it from passing over the
children, which probably might
liavt meant more serious conse
quences.
Mr. McDaniel lolls us that
machines are driven over Moun
tain stree. at such a rate of speed
to mako it it exceedingly pjiii
ous for children to ci reflate on
it at all.
