RoIlin Moore's Team Run Down by an
Auto in Clayton Saturday Afternoon.
While L. Rollin Moore, of this
town, was driving up Main street,
Clayton, Saturday afternoon with a
load of seventy dozen eggs, he was
run down by an automobile and
thrown out of the team. His car
riage was demolished and nearly all
of his seventy dozen eggs were
broken. The accident occurred near
Clements store. Mr.. Moore was
within four feet of the curb and
without any notice or warning the
automobile approached him from the
rear. The number of the machine
was 1867 and was on its way with a
party of Marylanders from Smyrna,
where they took dinner, to their
home, near Centreville. Mr.. Moore
has procured the names but what ac-
tion he will take is not definitely
known. The automobile party never
stopped to see what damage they had
done and hurried out of the State as
fast as they could. Mr.. Moore was
considerably bruised. The affair
caused a great deal of indignation at
Clayton from those who witnessed
/ the accident.
