HOLLY BEACH RESIDENTS
STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
While Crossing Turnpike Across
the Meadows Monday Night.
MIR. and Mrs. Meers Injured
BREEZY PERSONAL NOTES

What might have been a fatal auto
mobile accident was narrowly averted
on the Holly Beach turnpike across
the meadows Monday evening. The
injured persons were Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis Meers. Mr.. Meers escaped with
a dislocated shoulder and numerous
cuts and bruises. Mrs. Meers WAS
bruised considerably aud ii is thought
seriously injured internally. Both are
confined to the bed at their home on
Garfield avenue Their little child
escaped harm
Mr.. Meers, wife and child were driv-
ing il an open wagon over the turn
pike and had just reached what IS
known as the Richardson channel
bridge when they saw an auto coming
towards them. 1t was about 8 O'Clock
in the evening and quite dusk. 1t is
said that Meers turned to one side and
called out, but the warning was either
unheard or unheeded. The auto
crashed into the vehicle throwing out
the occupants, but miracously not
harming the child. The car stopped,
picked up the injured people and
hurried them to Wildwood where DIR.
Slaughter gave them medical aid.
The automobile is said to have been
owned by a DR.. Weber, of Cape May
City, and was in charge of a chauffeur
at the time of the accident.
