Near Drowning Under Auto.

Byron Mays, an employe at the handle
factory above Endeavor, narrowly es-
capped drowning under his automobile
yesterday afternoon. He had start for
drive in his Krit runsbout, his moth
or occupying the seal at his side. When
he reached the forks of the road short
distance from his home he attempted to
make short turn to go up the Beaver
Valley road when the machine turned
turtle, going over the embark ment and
landing bottom side up in about two feet
of water at the head of the Endesvor mill
pond, Mays and his mother being thrown
under the car. Mrs. Mays was able to
extricate herself but her son was so
pinned down that he could not move.
Miss Cora Taft and a small boy saw the
accident and ran to the assistance of the
unfortunates. She saw at a glance what
was needed to be done, and with unnat-
ural strength succeeded in raising the
car sufficiently to permit of the mans
release by the help Of the small boy. By
this time other help had arrived and
found Mr.. Mays we'll nigh suffocated
from inhaling the water. After work ing
with him and partially restoring him to
consciousness he was taken to his home,
where Drs. Morrow and Lafferty also
soon arrived, and the injured man was
fully resuscitated. Several wounds were
found upon his body. but the only one
which the doctors feared might be SER
ious was one over the small of the back.
The extent of this injury could not be
determined last evening. The indications
this morning were that Mr.. Mays iDju-
ries are not internal and that he will re-
cover. His mother was not injured to
any extent.

held at J. A. Cropp's, formerly the @. f.
Cropp homestead, on the first Saturday

to one hundred and eight. Following are

baugh, who came to mingle their voices
with G. f. Cropp, aged SO years, the old
est survivor of the Cropp family. At
1890 the ladies called their husbands 10
the old log spring house where they had
stored away well filled baskets, which
they took and marched to the apple or
chard, where they covered 64-foot table
with all the good things you could think
of. When all had gathered around the
table G. f. Cropp returned thanks, after
which all did justice to the good things.
After the feast the crowd proceeded to an
adjoining field and had their picture
taken. The remainder of the afternoon
until o'clock was spent in playing
games and talking. Then all departed
for their homes, feeling that they had
had good time. The next reunion will
be held at the home of WIN. McNut at
Meadville. The following are the off,

Cooper Tract.

It is one week ago last Saturday since
Mrs. d. f. Groscost went to Sheffield and
had DR.. Russell Of that place try his abil-
ity in setting the shoulder joint OF her
lef, arm, the injury having been source
of much suffering since the accident sew
eral weeks ago. An Xray photo shows
the ball out Of the socket with apparently
room enough to put II back, and thanks
to the M. D.. who saw at a glance that he
could make the repair. Mr.. Groscost and
wife, accompanied by Mrs. Harriger of
Sheriff, drove out on the date mentioned
and went DR.. Russells office where the
lady was put under an aneslhetic and the
joint put ln place. Monday the doctor
came 10 this place and re-dressed the arm
and while here was called In to prescribe
for the twin babies OF Theodore Maze.
Thursday Mrs. Adams accompanied Mrs.
Groscost to Sheffield to have the lsdy's
arm attended and we are very much
pleased to state that 1t Is coming along all
right.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Wolfe drove to Cor
ry In their auto Thursday to take in the
races, returning Friday evening.
A. Showers and Il. G. McCurdy OF
Lynch we're business callers in our viii
lage Tuesday, and Mr.. McCurdy went
on pleasure trip to the north west before
school begins and will enjoy Sightseeing
In Canada before returning.
Miss Hulds Vantassell OF Sigel is max :
ing her sister, Mrs. Plum Kale, a visit.
Messrs. French and John Wolfe were
Porkey visitors Saturday. driving down
in the Ford car, which is still In the ring
and not disabled In any way.
Our school begins August 3lst, and the
children will then be kept busy for the
next eight months. but the time is not lost
as they will find later 10 life. Miss Mable
Thomas will WELD the stick this winter,
and the unruly ones had better look out
or the stick will touch them, and not very
light at that. Let us strive to have It al
ways lying down instead of In the teach
er's hand.
The army worm did strike us in great
numbers but did not do as much damage
as we had feared.

Lewis Behrens of Starr was consid-
erably shaken up and had his face and
head quite badly bruised yesterday,
about the noon hour, by being thrown
from the buggy in which he was driving
down the German Hill road. The hold
back strap broke letting the rig strike the
horses heels and he became unmansge-
able. When under high speed Mr.. Beh-
rens tried to jump out of the rig and was
thrown violently to the ground with the
above results. The horse was caught
when he reached Elm street, and 1t was
found that neither he nor the rig were
damaged to any great extent. After hsv-
ing his wounds dressed Mr.. Behrens was
able to attend to business, and considered
bis escape from more serious injury q
lucky one.
"A corps of the States engineers from
Warren arrived here Monday and imme-
diately set to work to survey the new
piece of road leading from the end of the
pavement to the creek bridge, laying the
grade and arranging specifications so that
bids for rebuilding the road may be ask ed
for by the state highway department.
The engineers will have finished their
work today and 1t is expected the con-
tract will be let in time TO begin work of
reconstruction by the first of September,
thus enabling the contractor to finish the
work before incement weather sets in.
The regarding of the hill and widening
of the road bed in accordance with the
instructions of e. s. Collins has been
completed, and foreman Frank Nelson
has made fine job of it, leaving a very
slight grade of what was once quite a
hill.
The Endeavor Auto Club, q recent or
ganization of the wide-awake town to our
north, Is showing commendable enter
prise in installing danger signs at critical
points on the roads within a radius of 25
or 30 miles of the town. The signs are
pretty and ornamental as we'll as exceed
ingly useful, being painted in red,
white, blue and black, and bear the in
scription, "Endesvor Auto Club. Dam
ger. Sound Your Klaxon." In this con-
nection what the Oil City Blizzard says
on the subject is quite apropos: "In
view of the increasing number of auto
mobiles 1t has been suggested that signs
similar TO those used by Mr.. Sibley at
River Ridge farm might be put up with
good results. In the country at large the
matter of rapid transit is holding public
attention. The conditions are upon u.s..
They must be met. Safety first is what
the residents OF city and country alike
must plan for. If Mr.. Ford's prophecy
is true and automobiles are 5000 10 be
within the reach of many thousands more,
the planting of trees will have to be at
tended to. for walkers will have to take
to them for life and the pursuit of happi-
ness. But now is the time to calmly
think out sensible rules for the guidance
of lovers of this gentle sport Of automo-
bling"
