From the ground they could see that
there was something the mutter with
his machine. And even while they
watched through their glasses he be
gan to fall.
A minute later the little Ford ambu
lance was puffing its way across the
five miles of shell-stricken road that
lay between them and him.
They found him beside the machine.
He was unconscious, but a tree had
broken his fall.
“Just in the nick of time." said the
doctor crisply. “He’ll be a pretty sick
boy for a few weeks, but well have

Horrible Accident.
Miss Lillie Mae Ollie was in
stantly killed, Miss Annie Foster
seriously injured and a young
man, supposed to be Job Allgood,
was slightly injured in an auto
mobile wreck at the bridge span
ning Dead Indian Creek between
Covington and PoUerdale about 4
o’clock last Sunday afternoon.
Oliver Allgood, who was driv
ing the car when a rim broke, is
in jail on recommendation of the
jury empanelled by Judge Joe S.
Peek, acting coroner, that he be
heid for murder on the charge of
criminal negligence, it being stat
ed that the car was running at a
high rate of speed when the acci
dent occurred, the passengers be
ing caught under the overturned
body as it tumbled down an em
bankment.
A man who fled from the seene
of the accident was partially iden
tified as Job Allgood, a brother of
Oliver Allgood, their heme being
at Midway, between Covington
and Oxford. The young ladies
were from Porterdale and, accord
ing to report, the car was being
used with out the knowledge or
consent of the owner.
Aligood claims that the car was
being driven only about fifteen
miles an hour, but witnesses in
troduced at the investigation swore
to the contrary, which, with tfn
other facts submitted, the jurv
considered sufficient to justify the
verdict. —Covington News.
