AUTOMOBILE GOES
OVER CULVERT
AND INTO DITCH
Belmont Party Has Close Call
Saturday Afternoon on
Bangor Road

An automobile fatality was narrow
ly averted at about Las Saturday af-
ternoon just above Pettengilrs Corner
on the Bangor road when a Ford car
owned by George w. Knight of Bel
mont and occupied by himself and two
daughters, the driver and another man
ran off the culvert over the Whitney
brook and dropped a distance of about
10 feet and capsized. BY a miracle Mr.
Knight was the only one injured, he
being caught under the car. He was
somewhat scratched and bruised
about the head, the right ear was
started from the head and the rim was
SO torn that it was found necessary
to remove the iacerated portion.
Mr. knight and party were on their
way from Belmont to East Pittston
and as the car was approaching the
Whitney brook crossing small boy
ran out into the road, and then evil
IDENTIFY changing his mind started to
run back again. The car, according to
the statements of the party, was not
running rapidly but when the boy
started back it was near to him, and
in order to avoid running over the
boy the driver turned out to the side
of the road. and in doing SO crashed
into the fence, the car smashing the
fence and going with it over the cul-
vert into the ditch.
The car was somewhat damaged. the
wind shield being broken, the mud
guards bent and other minor injuries
sustained, but after being hauled out
of the ditch and taken to shop near
hy il was repaired in req son for the
party to resume their journey later in
the afternoon. Mr.. Knight was taken
to the office of a surgeon on Water
street and after having his injuries
attended to was able to go with the
other members of the party as soon
as the car had been repaired.

Show. Usual Prices.

NJ. A. Brewer supported by The
Empire Stock Company viii present
'Driftwood' by Owen Davis who IS
also author of THE Family Cupboard
play that had over one years sue
cessful run in New York City. Mr..
Davis play of tI1riftwood' deals with
one of the great sex problems. which
is being widely discussed in all parts
of the world and many of our scien-
lists and advanced thinkers advocate
its being taught like arithmetic or
grammar in our schools. but some
parents take the opposite view of this
matter and prefer not to discuss such
things before children; and in order
not to offend any of our patrons we
especially request that all children I'M
der fifteen years of age be prohibited
from attending and the management
will positively refuse admission to all
under that age unless accompanied by
their parents, or with written order
signed by their parents. We try to
exclude children of both sexes at our
performances of "Driftwood," not be.
cause this is an obscene, a vulgar or
suggestive play. but because it deals
frankly with the living wage" ques-
ton, and speaks plainly about the at
titude which we regret to say many
employers assume in dealing with
young girls whom they employ; and
as we wish, TO retain the respect and
patronage of those who attend our
performances we take this opportunity
of explaining as explicitly as possible
our views on the subject and also
guarantee that the play cannot pos
sibly offend any one who is willing TO
be instructed and one can learn d
great lesson from this modern and ed
ucational play "DriftWood"
