NARROWLY ESCAPE
SERIOUS INJURY.
Americas Party in Accident
Recently.
IN COLLISION WITH AN ENGINE
Electric Car Is Smashed BY Locomo
motive and Americas People Have
Narrow Escape Only Two Mem
bers of Party are Slightly Hurt.

A dozen members of the Americas
colony" now summerlng at Clarks
vile, GA. had an exceedingly close
call from fatal catastrophe day or
two ago, and while two boys, sons of
Messrs. E. T.. Bell and T. f. Gate
wood, were slightly bruised, the es-
cape of all the others seems miracu-
lous when the nature of the accident is
fully understood.
It was another instance of tangle
between an electric car and locomo
motive, in which the big engine, as
| usual, came out on top.
The party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. l.. Bell and children, Mr. and
Mrs. Gatewood and children. the
Misses Cobb and others, had gone
from GAINESVILLE to Tallulah Falls to
spend day pleasantly.
Boarding an electric car the party
were going from Cliff House to Tallu-
Iah Lodge and wholly unconscious of
the impending danger. The car had
proceeded but short distance when
an engine bore down upon it, though
fortunately at reduced speed. It was
seen that a collision was inevitable,
and small panic prevailed.
The engine struck the car, turning
it nearly over and throwing the frlS ht-
ened occupants upon the track.
AS quickly as possible the engine
| was brought to astandstill and further
damage was, happily, averted. DR..
Whitaker, of Milledgeville, was aboard
the car and gave attention to the in
juries sustained by the little boys.
Neither Mr.. and Mrs, Bell, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gatewood or the Misses G. BIB
were injured, though all were badly
shaken up by the overturning Car.
1t was an exceedingly narrow escape
for all, and Americus friends of the
party are glad indeed that there were
no fatalities.

as pretty ball playing as can be done

scored four and then Dawson two, and
for some time il seemed that the score
would remain at that. Then Dawson
put more yeast in their "Capitola" and
made another run, the score remaining
to 3 in favor of Americus. This
aroused both teams, and each tried to
increase their scores, but to no effect.
The two pitchers did some fine work

Clark struck out 10, and Lavable struck
out 10. There were many base hits,
and other features of the game to be
