Fatal Automobile Accident

Horse Show Grounds last night at
10 O'Clock, Miss May Bushnell.
aged % years, daughter of the late
Mr.. George Bushnell, Sr., and
sister of Mr.. George Bushnell. the
well known Winchester druggist,
lies cold i'm death at the Presbyter-
ian Manse.
Miss Bushnell, in company with
her sister, Miss Margaret Bush
nell, and Miss Camilla Rutherford,
daughter of Mr.. A. G. Rutherford.
OF Frederick county, were spend
ing several weeks with the family
of Mr.. j. G.. Rutherford, near
Berryville. and last night accepted
an invitation from Mr.. Jack Har-
desty. son Of Mr.. NJ. j. Hardestv.
of ClearbroOk. 20 accompany him
to Berryville in his automobile.
After spending n short time here
with friends, the party started TO
return to the Rutherford home Just
before 10 O'Clock. When opposite
the Horse Show Grounds. and
running at the rate of about ten
miles an hour. The machine struck
a post lying in the road, which lad
not been observed in time to stop
the machine, and Miss Bushnell
was thrown to the ground and
dragged about ten feet. As soon
as MIR. Hardesty could dismount
from the machine, he placed the
young lady on the seat and brought
her back to DR.. Tucker 5 Hospital.
where Drs. \. b. Tucker and Il.
Z. Page rendered every effort to
save her life. but realized from the
first that the case was practically
hopeless, as she had suffered a
fracture of the skull Just at the
base of the brain. She died at >
O'Clock this morningCnever having
regained consciousness.
\ telephone message to Win
chester apprised her brother. Mr..
George Bushnell, of the accident
and he was brought here by Mr..
Frank Eddy in his large touring
car, arrived her before his sister
breathed her last. =
The remains will be taken tc
Winchester this afternoon 10y I'm
dertaker Enders, but the funeral
arrangements have not been com
pleted at this time.
1t Is believed by the authoritie.
that the post was placed in the
road for the purpose of causing an
accident, and the best detective
talent in the County is working or
that hypothesis this morning
\ Some time ago 4 post (probably
the same One) was placed in tn,
road at or near the same place, but
was seen. before an accident re
suited. Very strong circumstan
tlal evidence points to certain par
ties whose names are withheld fol
the present, but an arrest can bt

BerryTilIe, 1; ShepherdstoWn, g..

Accompanied 10y "a number of
faithful fans, the Berryvillc Base
ball Team journeyed over TO Shep-
herdstown last Friday. and were
out-lucked by the Sheperdstown
tossers in very interesting game
which resulted in a score OF 6 TO /.
Making eight hits two of which
were two-baggers) to their oppo-
nent's seven, the local contingent
could only bunch their bingles in
one inning-the sixth-and shove
one man across the plate.
Our brave boys made six errors.
but only one Of them (BurchelI's)
had any effect on the score. Bur
chell gave two bases on bases in
the seventh inning, and each de-
veloped into a run.
Things went along merrily until
the third, when by punching n hit
batsman. base, on balls and two
clean hits, the Shepherdstown bays
scored three runs.
A very heavy storm broke over
the diamond at this juncture and
spectators and players took refuge
ON the porch of the cemetery
keepers house. just across the
road. The diamond had just been
cleared. although three of the
Shepherdstown players were with
IN fifty feet of the diamond, when
heavy bolt of lighting struck the
ground about three feet in front of
the pitchers plate. If the crowd
had been two miIuIes later in
leaving the ground. it is very
probable that Pitcher Robey, of
Berryville, who would have started
the fourth inning, and Editor
Musser, of the Shepherdstown In
dependent. who umpired the game. i.
would have been killed or seriously
injured. The three players who
were near the diamond were
stunned by the shock.
After n wait of nearly three
quarters of an hour, the rain ceased.
leaving the diamond very soft in
places. Umpire Musser announced
that the game was officially over
and would be called mo Contest"
unless the two team managers
wanted to go ahead and llay it out.
The Berryville boys felt that they
should resume play and do their
best to give the spectators run
for their money!" and the game
proceeded, although fastoraccuratc
fielding or pitching was impossible
on account of the mud and wet
balls.
The features of the game were a
fast double play by Albert Small
wood and Brown, the catching of
William Hunter, the pitching of
Reinhart and the second-base play
of Triplett, and the work of Umpire
Musser.
The following detailed score
shows how our brave lads went
down to honorable defeat:

wholesome lesson, both to him

a salutary and beautiful penance.
It has hung there since the morn

Secretary Metcalf, who was recently
transferred from the Department of Com.
merce and Labor to the Navy Depart.
ment, is mourning the loss OF 81, ,000, 600,
Topped off at the last moment by tile
House from the Naval Appropriation bill.
1t had been intended with the aid OF this
money to make rush work of the two
10000 ton battleships provided for in the
appropriation bill and it was hoped that
they could be completed in three or
four years instead Of six as is the case with
most battleships. But if the money is
not available, the construction will have
to jog along at the usual gait and the hope
ofrecord breaking in the construction will
have to be abandoned. Secretary Metcalf
is very much interested in the work of
the Navy Department and he rather ex-
pected that this piece of construction
would be lasting monument to his capa-
bility. But unless the money is made
speedily available by the next Congress,
there will be nothing doing in the way of
rushwork on the battleships.
