ACCIDENT HAPPENED
IN CROWDED STREET.

The President and party were driving
from this city to Lenox through South
street one of the principal thoroughfares
of Pittsfleld. which was lined with cheer
ing people. The catastrophe occurred in
plain view Of hundreds whose happiness
at the advent of the nations chief was
suddenly turned to grief.
Thousands had poured into the city in
the early morning from the nearby coun-
try to see and hear the President and his
address at the city park and had loudly
cheered. At the conclusion of the exer-
cises he wished to make a brief call on
former Senator Dawes, whose house in
Elm street is but short distance from
the park. The Presidents carriage In
which he had ridden from Governor
Cranes home at Dalton, was accordingly
driven to the Dawes residence and car
riages containing a number of other gen.
tlemen in the party followed. President
Roosevelt's call was short one and then
the carriages returned to the city square.
