A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Train Wrecks Automobile Occupied
by DR.. Patterson and Driver.

DR.. F. D. Patterson and his colored
chauffeur, Henderson Muse, escaped
death or serious injury very narrowly
Friday afternoon.
They had started across the rail
road tracks at the crossing on Depot
street in DR.. Patterson's automobile,
hen a freight train that was on the
sidetTack next to the Cuthbert Gro
Gerry Co. began backing. 1t was right
on them before they saw it. Hen
derson lit out of the car, the wheels
of the freight car MASKING his cap
and barely missing his head.
Dr. Patterson thought quickly. He
remembered that DR.. Rogers was in
jured by his machine falling on him,
so he started out at the back. About
this time the train struck the auto,
causing the physician to throw a fly
ing somersault. He was considera-
bly, bruised and shocked by the fall,
but not crippled. He and Henderson
had a close call. The automobile
was practically ruined

REVOLVER PRESENT
HE CARRIED TO HIS WIFE.

For causing a disturbance at his
home, 16 oliver street, yesterday after
noon, Jesse Brown, 30 years old. a
bartender. was held in $500 bail to keep
the peace by Judge Hahn in the First
Precinct Police Court today. Brown
has not been living at his home for
the past few weeks and yesterday
called to see his wife and two children.
ne told his wife, Sophia, that he had
a present for her, but had forgotten to
bring it.
Late in the afternoon Brown re-
turned in an intoxicated condition, his
wife said, and pulled a revolver from
his pocket. She used a bit of strategy
and asked him to allow her to exam
inc it closer. He did so, when h threw
1t into the yard. The gun was cooked
and the cartridge exploded when It
struck the ground. The shot aroused
tho neighbors and the police we're
called. During the excitement Brown
made hts. escape.
Plainclothesmen King and Smith, of
the First precinct station, made q
search of the neighborhood and found
Brown in the saloon where he was em-
ployed. He was then placed under ar
rest.
