TWO NARROW ESCAPES
IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Two narrow escapes from injury and
death were experienced Saturday by
H. e. Neal. the we'll known real estate
dealer, and his youngest son, Walter.
The first hair raising experience was
Saturday morning while Mr.. Neal and
his son were driving to the city in his
machine. which went wild, owing to a
slight break and began zig tagging the
road. Seeing that it was impossible to
cross a narrow bridge in the lane just
north of the soldiers home, Mr.. Neal
ran the machine into the ditch, bring
ing 1t to a sudden stop in fully four
feet of water. Both were badly shaken
up but escaped injury.
During the afternoon while helping
transfer men Jack up the machine. Mr.
Neal was working under II in a sand
hole, while his son was on the bridge
watching. One side of the machine
had been raised so the guards stood
above the level of the bridge and as the
lad laid down with his head beneath
the guards and reached over to hand
Mr.. Neal his glasses, the jack slipped
and the machine settled sufficiently to
pin the boys head to the bridge and
to fasten Mr.. Neal beneath 1t in the
sand. Calling to the men while his
face was in the sand. Mr.. Neal told
them to release the boy. whom he had
seen caught. but did not know how
badly he was hurt. The men did so, but
in raising that side OF the machine they
pinned Mr. Neal deeper in the sand
Running to the other side of the car
they attempted to raise Il but could not
and called for help. Within minute
or two four other men near by rushed
to the scene and raised the machine
sufficiently for Mr.. Neal to crawl out.
The sand in which he was pinned was
soft and wet and gave way beneath
him as he was forced down into 1t, thus
preventing him from being badly in
jured.

tack Electrocuted.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The Petit Journal
publishes the following details OF the
hghting around Liege. obtained by 1t
from a Belgian officer:
German troops rushed on the barb
ed wire defenses before the forts of
Liege in the darkness of night. A
strong current of electricity was being
maintained in those wires and as a
result the first ranks Of the Germans
were electrocuted.
Unchecked, the assailants followed
in masses. but they were blinded by the
glare of powerful searchlights. They
hesitated and started to retire. At that
moment. a heavy fire of rifles and ar
tillery was concentrated on the mass
of German troops and they were cut
to pieces The mass of bodies formed
a mound, in some places many feet
high.
ITO drown out the groans OF the
wounded, the bugles sounded martial
airs and the troops still alive united
in cheering.
Near one fort two columns of Ger
mans, blinded by the glare of Belgian
searchlights, attacked each other. This
incident was seen from the fort. When
one side seemed to have the better of
the struggle" the Belgian officer goes
on to say, our artillery fired into both
sides alike, thus making the struggle
more even"
