and She Suffered Great Pain Be
fore 4 Gould be Run
or.

While trying to dodge automobiles
at the corner OF Fifth and Main street
last evening. David Stadley and Miss
May LaDuke were run down by a
slowly moving al and the latter
was probably seriously injured. The
mau escaped with slight bruises. The
car ran over both of them and stopped
with one OF the wheels over the low
er limbs Of the girl, who was in great
pain until the automobile was adj
vanced and she was relieved OF the
heavy weight.
Ihe automobile was owned by the
Central Auto and Machine company,
Is South Third street. VII Herbner
was driving at the time and Warren
". Perdew was In the car. Herbner
tells the following story:
We were running out Main street
about seven miles an hour and on
che right side OF the street. As we
neared Fifth and Main, ! saw the
sounded my norm several times. They
say Is. As We reached the corner,
another car was coming down Fifth
street at fairly good speed, and start
ed to turn the corner. The man and
girl were clear OF both cars and were
about to the street a track when,
in apparent confusion, turned around
and lodged back. We could not
escape striking the couple or collid-
Ing with the car then turning the cor
q which was filled with women. Our
car hit the two people, knocking
them under u.s."
Both Stadley and the girl were rush
ed to st. Joseph's hospital. The man
was only slightly bruised and after
being bandaged, went to his home at
Second and Bank streets. The girls
injuries were more serious. Both
limbs were badly bruised and the
swelling is such that the doctor fears
several bones may be broken. She
also suffered from several cuts about
the body where the car struck her,
and will be confined to the hospital
for a week or more for medical at
tention. Stadley is twenty-five years
old. Miss LaDuke is twenty-three.
She lives In the country and has been
employed at a local canning factory.

MYSTERIOUS MAN
DIES At HOSPITAL
After a Short illness, His Death oc-
curing Between 7 and 8
O'Clock This
Morning.
M. SCOTT
Is His Name and His Home at New
port News, Va, Where
His Mother
Resides.
WILLIAM M. SCOTT

Monday evening in The Gate City
was given a news item concerning q
man who didn't give his name who
sought aid OF the county physicians.
It was further said that he claimed
that he was connected with a circus
and that he was beating his way In a
box car; that he had considerable
money on his person and thai several
Of his travelling companions proceed
ed to relieve him of 1t. In the strug'
gle that ensued, he sustained some IN
turtles that needed the attention Of a
physician.
This is said to be the same man
who was taken to a local hospital
Sunday, and who died there between
n and 8 O'Clock this morning. He
was a we'll appearing young man and
1t is thought that the story he told
was given while under the influence
of delirium, as he was suffering from
fever when received at the hospital.
The story that he was beating his way
on a train is doubted as there was
found among his effects a two-thous-
and-mile railroad ticket, besides sew
eral letters. BY those who knew
something Of the local incidents con-
nected with the mysterious stranger,
his name was %variously given-Wfl-
liams, Brown, Scott and perhaps 9TH
er names, though letters found on him
were addressed to William Scott. De-
yelopments show that he was q mem
Der of the Order Of Foresters. but
nothing is found to certainly point to
his past life or the locality whence he
came.
The body was taken this forenoon
to. the morgue of Crimmins & Chase
for preparation for burial and identif1-
cation and to await the demands OF
relatives or friends for the body.

Among the papers in his pockets
is a letter signed 'your loving mother.

of his coming home and suggesting a

REGINALD HEBER,
HYMN WRITER
Was the First Missionary Bishop Of
the Episcopal Church to
the Heather.

II you were a happy father and had a
baby boy would you call him Reginald
Heber? II is hard for any real boy TO
live up to the name OF a good and pious
man. And Reginald Heber was an ex.
ceeding good and pious man, for he
was the first missionary bishop Of the
Episcopalian Church. He wrote many
hymns. One of them was Prom Green
lands Icy Mountains, from 1ndia's Coral
Strand" Once there was a North Caro-
lima clergyman who named his son Reg
inald Heber. Ministers sons are seldom
saints. People expect too much Of a
minister's son anyway. 1t is easier to
preach than to practice what is preach
ed. and the minister's son has TO prac-
tice heaps.
What young Reginald Heber suffered
on account Of his name in the daily
sessions Of The Court of Boyville" he
alone knows. But they do say that
when this young Reginald Heber grew
up he followed the climatic song in a
way. There was very little Of Green
lands icy mountains in his make up
he was more for the coral strand. o.
Henry would have said he was hot
member. But remember this boy had
hard name to measure up to, so don't
name your boy Reginald Heber." With
due and SUFFICIENT reverence sing the
grand old bishops hymns, Holy. Holy.
Holy" The Son of God Goes Forth to
War" and his missionary hymn. All
these hymns and all other Songs That
Never Grow Old" are in The Herald's
collection. which is now offered for the
