The Allison Creek Bridge Matter.
The county board of commissioners
met at Newport yesterday to further
consider the inconvenience occasioned
to the farmers living north Of the
mouth Of Allison creek by reason Of the
destruction Of the crossing by back
water from the dam Of the Catawba
Power company. AS Is now pretty gen.
orally understood a practicable and
durable bridge would cost something
like five or six thousand dollars, and
the commissioners and power company
people Save not been able to get to-
gether on the question as to how the

suit Of the meeting yesterday, 1t was
decided that the best thing to do, Is to
change the location Of the road so as to
cross the creek higher up. 1t is un-
derstood that the change can be made
at considerably less expense than will
be entafled In the construction of the
bridge that has been the cause OF so

pie interested will find this arrange

Outrage Near Smyrna.
Rock Hill special of June 25 to the
News and Courier: E. L. Dowdle,
white section MASTER living at Smyrna,
twenty miles above here, on the
Charleston division of the Southern
railway was badly injured last night
by rock thrown from an embankment
Just this side Of Smyrna. He was a
passenger on the eastbound train,
which reaches here at 1880 p. m, and
was sitting with his head partly out
side Of the window and leaning against
it. A heavy rock, thrown with consid-
erable force, crashed into the train
from the top Of the embankment and
although 1t was too dark to see dis
tinctly, form was seen running from
the place. The train was going too
rapidly for any thought Of stopping In
the dark and so Dowdle was brought
here and turned over to DR.. T. A.
Crawford. the railway surgeon. He
operated on Dowdle, finding the outer
plate of the skull fractured, but with
proper care he will be able to go to
work again in three or four weeks.
Rocks have been thrown into the train
near this point before, and every ef-
fort will be made 10 find the guilty
parties.
Motor Car Accident.
Mr.. e. Brooks Mendenhall came near
losing his life and Col. L. T. Nichols,
general manager Of the c. & NV.
railroad, had his nose broken as the
result Of a motor car accident at Nc
Connellsville last Friday afternoon.
The reporter has not been able to Sc
cure absolutely accurate details; but
according to such information as has
been obtainable, 1t seems that Colonel
Nichols was rolling along In his mo-
tor car at a pretty rapid rate, and Mr..
Mendenhall attempted to cross the
track in front Of him. Mr.. Menden-
hall was looking in an opposite direc-
ton from the approaching car, and be-
ing quite deaf, failed to hear the Sig
nal horn. Assuming that the track
would be cleared, Colonel Nichols
made no effort to stop the car until II
was too late and Mr.. Mendenhall was
struck quite sharp blow thar knock
ed him high in the air. He fell against
Colonel Nichols, breaking the latters
nose. Mr.. Mendenhall was seriously
bruised about the legs, arms and head
and for a time 1t was feared that ne
had been killed: but at last accounts
It was understood that he was getting
along very nicely.
