Alfred Finnegan had a narrow
escape from being run down by an
auto last Friday evening at the
corner of Cross and Main streets. 4
little more caution should be used
by auto drivers at this particular
point; pedestrians should be warned
by the driver by the sounding of his
horn or klaxon and thus prevent ally
accident.
