ACCIDENTS AVERAGE
One A MONTH
On Street Car Line in the
Vicinity of CiyffeSide
Park.

This morning at about SIX
o'clock a car on the Ohio Valley
Electric railway line ran down
William Day, aged 45, and un-
married, aud inflicted injuries
from which 1t is thought it is i'm
possible for the man to recover.
1t was a south bound car in
charge of Conductor Kelley and
it is said to have been running at
the ordinary rate of speed when
the accident occurred. 1t seems
that Day had stayed all night in
Ashland and had come up the
line on car preceding the one
that ran him down and had gotten
off near the McCue hill, short
distance south of the undergrade
crossing, at the east side of Ash
land. He is thought to have been
Intoxicated and in that condition
had sat down on the road where
he was when the car came along
snd struck him. He was picked
up and brought TO this city, but
was taken on the next car down
TO the hospital in Ashland where
he was attended by physician.
The man resided at Morehead,
being q mem ber o: the Day family
Of Rowan county that became
widely known because of their
connection with some Of the feud
troubles IN that county, though
this man is said not TO have been
mixed in the trouble himself. He
is a saw mIll man and had been
working some for the Vansant-
Kitchen people at Normal, and it
is thought he was aiming 10 make
his way to the plant of the com
pany this morning, but got off the
car at the wrong point. He was
8 very heavy man, weighing about
250 pounds.
The most severe injury received
was OIL his head, which was tel
ribly mashed. Other injuries al
90 appeared on the body, bat the
ether wounds were less serious
than the ones on the head. 1t
was owing to the heavy fog that
was hanging over The track a.
that early hour that the motor
man could not see the man Oh the
track, as so dense was the fog
that one could only see few feet
ahead. Two colored section men
we're working within a few feet OF
where the man was sitting on the
track, but they made no effort to
get him away and it is believed
they could have done go had they
made an effort.

A REPORT made to congress by q
"a commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-

This question of land titles in the

years ago congress created a commits

sisted of the attorney general, the sec
rotary of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt Of

probably never be able to straighten
