DRAGGED BY A CAR.
Man, However, Escaped with Cut
Over His Eye.

Over His Eye.
While crossing the tracks of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company on Bay
street, between Habersham and Price,
early yesterday afternoon, Nathan
Robinson, a negro, was knocked down
and dragged by car No. Z of the E. &
w. belt. The man was painfully, but
not seriously injured.
Robinson and another negro were
walking together on the south side
of Bay street and started to cross the
track in front of a west-bound car.
The motorman says that Robinson's
companion stopped when he sounded
his gong and that he had reason to
believe that the man who was after
wards knocked down would act in the
same manner.
The car was not going very rapidly
when it struck the negro, and this
probably saved his life. He was
knocked down, however, and dragged
several feet. Robinson was bleeding
from a cut over the eye when pulled
from under the car. He complained
that his leg panied him, but no bones
were fractured. The negro was badly
bruised and shaken up, and received
medical attention.
