An Appalling Accident.


On Sunday evening, at about 1920
O'Clock, at a point on the railroad about
four miles east Of Darlington, an un-
usual accident happened in which sew

a speeder driving a bandcar and visited
friends in Gratiot. After the rain they
started Oh their return trip, their only
light being a lantern. At the place
where the accident occurred the water
had carried a railroad tie onto the track
and the speeder striking this, the occu-
pants were hurled to earth and the
cars more or less demolished. Word
was telephoned to this city and help
