Some excitement was caused Wednes-
day noo by an automobile knocking q
little girl down. The accident occurred
on High street in front of Aliens drug
store. The automobile was one of the
buses of Samuel Matthias, which was on
the way to the railroad station. The
driver was going at q very moderate speed
as was shown by the quickness with
which he was able to bring his machine
to a stop without seriously iniuring the
child. The girls name is Sheppard, the
daughter Of q Westampton farmer. She
was on the sidewalk and suddenly ran
out in front Of the auto, which knocked
her down and she fell directlyin the CEN
tire Of the car, which passed over her. She
was carried into the drug store and it was
found she had a painful cut on her head,
but no bones were broken. The accident
was due entirely to the child not looking
where she was going and the fact that
she escaped serious injury was because
the driver was going slowly and had his
auto completely under control.
When the trolley company restored
the cash registers and also continued the
pistol collectors, the public was asked
not to c~riticise the action until it had

is that a more n~onsensical arrangement
