 SUITS IN COURT
GRANVILLE WALLACE WANTS s5,ooo FOR BEING KNOCKED

Mrs. c. c. CiIIenwater Wants SmI- lar sum for Suffering, After coi-

Ten thousand ollars Is represented in two damage suits uied yesterday in circuit court. both growing out oi street collisions in this city.
 Granville W~llace, a youth, asks s5,000 damage as the result of alleg- ed injuries, after collision between himself on bicycle. and Stanley Johnson, owner and operator Of ali automobile garage in this city The youth claims to haye been knocked down and severely injured through being struck by the auto.
 Mrs. s. c. Gillenwater asks rom the Cooper Brothers Livery Company s5.000 in damages, claiming that while driving her buggy along public street, she was run into by a buggy belonging to the Coopers. and driven by an agent Of theirs, and that she was injured 10 the extent named in the suit for damages.

 A correspondent calls attention 10 the fact that when accidents happen on the streets between autosr- or drivers and pedestrians. 1t is always reported that the antoist or the driv- CT runs down" the pedestrian, when often sncI is not the case.
 Tn s is trie.
 Everybody who drives a horse or a team or an auto in Hot springs knows that the pedestrian in city si'e size of Hot Springs ia Very care- less as a rule. and that added to this there are many pedestrians here who cofEessfrofn small cities where there fs no danger on the streets .. being run down. and therefore the at- tendant carelessness on their part.
 The street crossings isre are nor well identified. On our paved streets people cross wherever they seem 10 desire, without making the trip to the corner.
 Many l-lnes thsy cross n street looking south ~,hlle waking nortG. They do look ahead for a ear, ana if there is no danger from that source usually plod ahead regardless Of otn- CT things.
 Then. again there Is that type oi pedestrian who likes close shave. just as some drivers and autosts seem to like them. lie is the man who does not hasten alis slow walk across street when a driver comes trotting down the avenue. You just do miss his shoulder and that seems to be his desire, for he uoesnt iopk up.
 The speed bugs are bad enough, and the autoist and the drivers are care less enough, but great contribut- ing force to the situation is the care- less and indifferent pedestrian, who assumes an unnatural emnity to any person in aAvehicle, and seems to be willing to~take q chance putting niin- self in jeopardy to check Their cours- es or actions.
 So, if is we'll enough that criticism be careful when accident happens, for 1t may not be the entire fault of the driver or the autolst. Each acc- tent is surrounded by different cir cumstances. If the pedestrian is at fault the criticism should not lie wholly with the vehicle owner or driver. In brief. one. or both. are at fault wneneyer there Is accident, and the blame should be properly placed instead of being indiscrimi. nately fired at The vehicle owner.
