NEWS OF THE DAY


Houston, Texas.-Fou, persons sus-

INJURIES In a miraculous manner a the re-
suit Of an automobile accident which hap
pened on the Houston and Galveston road
Sunday evening about u o'clock. That
they escaped with their lives or much more
serious injuries was considered wonderful
by those who Witnessed the accident. The
injured persons were III. NJ. Muse, an engi-
neer on the international & Great Northern
railroad: Keith ID. Wright, a barber; Miss
Nathie Skeen and Miss Edna Hood. The
two women received bruises, but suffered
mostly from the shock, and Miss Skeen
was unconscious, but apparently not
seriously hurt. Mr.. Wright received a
scalp wound and other bruises on his side,
while Mr.. Muse was believed to be the most
seriously hurt. The automobile belonged
to Mr.. Muse and the party was returning
from "a drive to Galveston. They had
reached a point about midway between
South Houston and Genoa when suddenly
one of the rear wheels either broke or
came loose. This threw the ear into the
ditch and the momentum caused ii to turn
completely over and around 80 that when
1t landed on the ground it faced in the OPP
posite direction from which the party was
travelling.
