WOMAN RUN INTO BY AUTO
Mrs. Albert bailey il Knocked Several
Different ways by Fast
Speeding Machine.

Mrs. Albert Bailey, Seventh and Burt

accident Thursday morning. but fortunately
escaped with only slight injuries. While
crossing the street toward the cast at Six
tenth and Dodge streets a large automo-
bile which was being driven northward at a
high rate of speed struck Mrs. Bailey,
throwing her on the machine and carry
ing her for a distance Of about twenty
yards before the machine could be stopped.
She was struck squarely in front of the
automobile and witnesses said IL she had
been standing distance of six inches
either way she must surely have been
thrown beneath the wheels. AS II was tho
force of the impact threw her directly on
the center of the machine. and she suffered
only a few bruises. The driver of the auto
was arrested, giving his name as John Doe,
and gave bail for his appearance in court
in the sum of $25, but it is not thought
likely he will appear for trial. Officer
Grove, who made the arrest. said the ma
chine probably was going at the rate of
thirty miles an hour through the crowds
on Sixteenth street at the time, and that
several other pedestrians had narrow es-
capes on the crossings
The arresting officer forgot such little de-
tails a getting the name of the automobile

FAIL IN IDENTIFYING MOSS
Indications He is Not the Man Wanted
for CHASING Girls Near
Riverview.

The efforts of residents in the neigh
borhood of Thirteenth street and the
Boulevard to identify James Moss, colored,
arrested Tuesday as the negro who chased
young girls in the vicinity on several &C.
casions, proved unsuccessful Wednesday,
when a few persons called at the city jail
to look at Moss.
One description of the man says he Is
rather light. and although Moss is quite
dark he conforms in every other way, and
he was therefore held. The efforts to find
the right man are still in progress undated
while the people at the scene of the fell
lows operations go about armed and look
Ing for sneaking colored men.
Chief of Detectives Savage is satisfied
that Moss is not the badly wanted mulatto
and in court Thursday morning Moss was
released Moss said it had been an exciting
few days for him. as he did not know what
the officers were trying to do to him or
what he was wanted for, rs he had just
arrived from Minneapolis on side door
Pullman when arrested and was surely
going to hike right back as soon as he

With the circular windows which give
