While en route to Dawson on the
Dawson-Leary rdad Saturday night
about 1 o’clock Mr. L. J. Garner
heard unusual sounds, seeming to be
cries for help but hard to distinguish,
coming from one side of the bridge
at Double Branches, a creek at the
Cherry Hill place south of Doverel.
He got out to investigate and found
a man and woman pinned underneath
an overturned car with only the up

‘\\'atcr. Mr. Garner went for help and
the car was lifted so the injured per
isons might be rescued.
~ The man proved to be Mr. Carver
Janes, of near Doverel, and the wo
man was Mrs. Hugh Walker, who
was formerly Miss Minnie Mae High
note. Examination later showed that
Mr. Janes had sustained a dislocated
shoulder and Mrs. Walker avas badly
bruised, internal injuries being fear
ed. Both were severely burned by
their clothing becoming saturated
with gasoline from the bursted tank.
From all reports the party, with
Mr. John Hawk driving, had started
for Albany in Mr. Janes’ car. At the
Cherry Hill place Hawk lost control
of the machine and it ran off the
bridge at Double Branches and over
turned, Hawk being unhurt. He has
not been,seen since the accident, ac-‘
cording to advices from Dovergl. It
is a miracle that all were not Kkilled,
as the accident happened about 8:30
o'clock and Janes and Mrs. Walker
were held in the water by the weight
of the car until almost four hours
later.
I.ast reports indicated that the in
jured were resting as well as could
be expected. The car was practically
demolished. -

CIGARETTE STUMP CAUSES
FARMER, WHO HAD LOAD OF
NITRATE, HEAVY LOSS.
The burning of a ton of nitrate of
soda and the wagon in which it was
being hauled was the unusual acci
dent which happened to Mr.. Aycock,
a well-known farmer who lives scuth
of Shellman.
In some way unknown to the driv
er of the wagon the soda was ignited
and caused a loud explosion, which
frightened the mules and made them
run wildly down a steep hill and up an
other before they could be stopped
and unhooked from the wagon, which
was in flames and burning rapidly. It
with the sixty dollars’ worth of the
fertilizer, was almost entirely con
sumed in the road in a very short
time.
Mr. Aycock thinks it possible that
a cigarette stub, which he had thrown
away, lodged among the sacks of
soda piled on the wagon.
