AUTOMOBILE
CRASHES BUGGY
Car Driven by James Robertson, OF
Vail, Crashes into Buggy Of Mr..
Bert kahi Saturday
LADY OCCUPANT OF BUGGY HURT
Taken to Denison Hospital, Where
Physicians Attended and Has
Since Returned to Her Home

A serious accident occurred last
Saturday evening about o'clock on
the public highway just south of the
brick yards, when an automobile, drlv-
en- by James Robertson, of Vail,
crashed into a single rig driven by Mr.
Bert Kahl, who was accompanied by
his wife and infant child, and as a
result of the collision Mrs. kahl was
quite seriously bruised and injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kahl had been to
Denison to attend the moving picture
show and it was when they were re-
turning home that the accident oc-
CURED. Mr.. Kahl claims that when he
heard the automobile approaching
from behind he turned out to the right
to allow the car to pass. Whether the
road was too narrow or the buggy was
| not seen by the occupants of the ap.
preaching car is not known, but any
way the car crashed into the rear end
of the buggy and in the mixup Mrs.
Kahl was quite seriously hurt.
An automobile coming toward Den
| ison carried Mrs. Kahl to the hospi-
tai, where a physician administered
aid. At this writing she has so far
recovered as to be able to return to
her home.
Mr.. Kahl caused the driver OF the
car to be brought before Justice Rol-
Inns this morning on the charge OF
driving an automobile in careless
and nonprudent manner. The defend
ant plead not guilty to the charge,
and the case has been postponed I'M
Til next Monday morning, in order
that witnesses may be obtained.

STAGE FOLKS ARE
TAKEN FROM LIFE

No playwright in America so thorough
ly understands that particular aspect of
life o; which he writes as does Eugene
Walter. A student of human nature for
years, he added to his natural store of
knowledge by a long career as a news
paper man. Though brilliant enough for
an editorial desk, he preferred to remain
a reporter, so that he could mlngle with
humanity, see life in the making; and
his observations of life and conditions as
they exist in America today, gained
through his apprenticeship On nearly
every newspaper from Maine to Cali
fornia, are evident in his character draw
ings in Fine Feathers which will be
seen at the National Theater this week.
The principal characters in the play are
Bob Reynolds and his wife, types Of
ordinary Americ: ms. and they are played
by Robert Edeson and Lolita Robertson;
John Brand. a financier and a product
of our modern business expansion, played
by Wilton Lackaye; Dick Meade, a news
paper reporter, in which IL is claimed
Walter drew a stage picture of himself,
played by Max Figman; Mrs. Collins, a
woman Of the neighborly type. played by
Rose Coghlan. and Frieda, a housemaid,
played by Lydia Dickson.

Author of "KIsmrt."

Edward Knoblauch, the author of

Of Harvard. and a young dramatist of
accomplishment and promise. His acted
plays so far are The Cottage in the
Air" THE Shulamite," The Faun,' -
"Milestones" and "Kismet' which have
made for him an international reputa-
ton. The great promise of his work lies
in its variety. He Is not a playwright
who harps upon one string. His tech

interests in life and his sympathies are
worldwide. Only a dramatist such as
