Mr.. William Bettus, OF near
Boyce, is i'm the Winchester
Memorial Hospital, suffering from
a fractured leg and other injuries
received when the heavy automo-
bile of Mr.. Thomas Cover. Jr., a
wealthy Philadelphian, running at
a high rate of speed, struck him,
last Saturday.
Bettus is a teamster for the Pain
ter Lumber Company, and was
driving a team of four mules when
the rapidly driven automobile
frightened them.
He dismOunted and tried to hold
the frightened animals, but they
turned obliquely across the road
and he was struck by the auto
mobile.
1t is said that active legal prose
cution will follow, as it is alleged
that the machine was driven in
excess of the legal limit; was not
slowed up as required by law; and
no apparent thought was given to
the rights of the team or its driver.
A report reaches the COURIER
from MillwOOd to the effect that
the same automobilist passed the
funeral procession of the late Mr..
Eston Randolph running at high
rate of speed and frightened horses
IN a reckless manner, it being
stated to the COURIER that the
horse of Rev. j. NJ. Robeson.
rector of Christ Church, who was
preceding the hearse. was only
prevented from running away by
the most vigorous measures.
The COURIER has previously
called attention to the lack of re-
spect which we have seen shown
for the automobile laws, and desire
to again to call attention to it,
without reference to the above
case, as none of the above allega-
tions came under our personal
notice. But we have seen others
daily violate the laws of the State.
County and Town, and think some
thing should be done to make an
example of some of the violators.
in the hope that lesson well
applied will do good in more ways
than one.

DanYille Goes "Wet."

Followingtwoyearsof drought, +"
Danville voted wet" again last
Thursday, by a majority of 10.
1t was very close, but we sup
pose it will stand, as contests in
Roanoke and Bristol failed to upset
the result as shown on the face of
the returns.
We confess that our belief that
the State would go ''dry" has
undergone some change since the
elections in Roanoke, Bristol and
Danville, although we still believe
that the people should be allowed
to vote on it and settle it, one way
or the other.

Winchester Suffers Severely.

Winchester lost its big roller
skating rink by fire last Wednes-
day.
Fridaymorning the lumber yards
and stock of Fred l.. Glaize, esti-
mated at about S45, 900 in value,
went up in smoke.
Saturday morning the stable of
Frank t. Woodward, along with a
hne driving mare, buggy, harness,
and a large number of chickens,
were burned.
Sunday evening DR.. S. Z. Latane
one of the mostlovabIe and popular
citizens of the city, was killed in
an automobile accident.
Truly is has been said that mis-
fortunes never come singly."
We extend our deepestsympathy
to our neighbor city. Valuable
property has been destroyed by
the flames; but the greatest loss
has been inflicted in the sudden
taking off of one of the leading
physicians of the State and a man
of the highest character. 1t was
our pleasure to know him, and we
found him ever a clean. kindly,
courteous gentleman. with heart
full of that brotherly love and
kindness which would anoint the
wounds of the poor sufferer without
thought of money or price.
A young man, just coming into
his prime physically and mentally, ,
his ability had already been recog-
nized widely in Virginia, and he
had only short time ago been
honored by election as Secretary
of the Virginia Board of Health.
Endowed with a rare tempera-
ment, and the ability to discern at
a glance the nature of disease, his
immediate success was assured
from the day his medical diploma
was granted. With family his
tory of gentle men and ladies be-
fore him, his personal habits we're
upright and manly. He was a
clean, honorable, successful, Iowa
BILE man; and Winchester will not
soon find one To fill his niche.

Cut in Twain By Cars.

The body of George Cooper,
colored, was found beside the Nor
folk & Western track at the cattle
guard" in Josephine City shortly
after the passage of the southbOunG

alight, was struck by the cattle
guard, " and knocked beneath the
wheels.
At any rate. the body was cut
entirely in two, the wheels passing
over it just abave the waist, and
death was instantaneous.
A cash ON the head and another
on the throat were probably made
by the sharp pieces of metal in the
cattle guard" although it was be-
leieved by many here that he had
been killed and thrown beneath the
train.

of accidental death. as evidenced

Death Of DR.. Latane

The Winchester Star gives the
following account of the way in
which DIR. ). z. Latane met his
death:
About 8 o'clock Sunday evening
DIR. Latane received message to
come to the home of Mr.. Hugh Ash
wood whose wife was Ill, about
seven miles West of Winchester.
He attempted to start in his own
automobile, but it was out Of repair
and he went to the garage at the
Rouss engine house to get another
machine.
1t was suggested that he take a
secondhand machine which had
recently been bought by Mr.. III. c..
Stouffer, Crawford weighing
about 5000 pounds, and which DIR.
Latane had been considering buy
ing from Mr.. Stouffer.
Mr.. Leslie Brown, one of the
chauffeurs at the garage, who is
regarded as most careful man,
volunteered to accompany DIR.
Latane to the country, and they
made good headway along the
Cedar Greek grade until a steep
bill leading to the Wisecarver farm
was reached.
At that point, Albert Newlin
met the occupants of the car, hav-
ing gone down from his house in
that vicinity to pilot them over the
new road TO the Ashwood home.
When about half way up the hill,
the driver found the high gear
would not work, and he reduced
the machine to low gear. 1t seems
that the brake slipped and refused
to work properly, and the machine
backed and went crashing over a
ten-fOot retaining wall. Albert
Newlin jumped and saved himself,
but DR.. Latane and young Mr..
Brown remained in their seats.
Mr.. Brown was unable to get
out, being hemmed in on one side
by the brakes and on the other by
DR.. Latane. The machine turned
over, and both men we're caught
under it. Mr.. Newlin ran for
assistance, and a number of men
living in the neighborhood re-
sponded promptly and lifted the
machine up.
DR.. Latane was taken out. but
DR.. l. NJ. Brumback, who was
among the first to arrive, stated
that DIR. Latane had met death
instantaneously, and that he prob
ally suffered no pain whatever. His
neck bad been broken and a num-
Der of bones in hischestalso broken.
Mr.. Brown was bruised and rended-
ed unconscious by the turning of
the machine, but he soon recovered.
