dent occurred ON Magnolia avenue,
near the beach, Wednesday morning.
Pauline Dean, 10 years old, with two
little girl companions, had been riding
on the foot board of the Konowitch de-
livery auto and the driver of the ma
chine had ordered them off and believ-
ing that the little girls obeyed him
started the power, but Pauline had re-
NAMED aboard and was violently
thrown to the street. Mrs. G. H. Top
pin, a guest stopping at the Arlington,
carried the unconcious child into the
Arlington where first aid was given to
her. Doctor Tomlin was summoned
and he found that the little girl had
lost two front teeth and sustained var
ious bruises also suffering a ervou
shock. The doctor took his patient to
her home, 215 w. Magnolia avenue,
where she lives with her grandmother,
Mrs. G. Rhodes. A Journal represen-
tative called to see little Pauline and
found her confined to bed and sleeping
peacefully. 1t is the judgment of those
who investigated the accident that the
driver of the auto Is not to blame for
Pauline's mishap and that the young
sters should think twice before taking
such a ride again.

"H;ker" Averages
Over Fjue Miles
LeGrand to City

Walking with an easy stride and with
plenty of wind to spare, Henry w.
Shelton, of New York City, profess
sioral pedestrian walked from the Of
flee of the LeGrand Reporter to the
Times Republican, a distance OF s.6
miles, in one hour and fiftytwo min
utes. Shelton averaged a trifie better
than five miles an hour, which he
claims is far above the ordinary speed,
considering the hills between this city
and LeGrand. These slowed him bit
as he expected to make the distance in
little over an hour and a'half.
Shelton left the Reporter office at
10 o'clock and arrived at the Times
Republican at 1852. He was met two
and one quarter miRs from this city in

win O'Neal. the latter editor of the Le-
Grand paper, and a T.-R. reporter.
Shelton claimed to be walking six miles
an hour at that slime, but slowed up
perceptibly after the auto had met him,
thus losing some time. The machine pi-
loted him into the city.
One of the remarkable things about
Shelton is that he is 55 years of age.
a grandfather to SIX, and as spry as
many people considerably younger. He
has been Walking professionally for
over twenty years. His longest walk
was from New York to San Francisco
and return, a distance of 6,S41 miles, in
Isl days. On June 8. 1916. Shelton left
New Jork City and walked to LeGrand,
arriving there on July l. lettering his
record of the year before by two days.
In 1915 he left New York on May and
arrived in LeGrand June l. 1t was be-
cause LeGrand was the point at which
he arrived in one months time year
ago that he chose ii in an endeavor to
improve his time this year. He pro-
poses to leave for New York on the re-
turn lap on Tuesday.
When Shelton arrived at LeGrand his
feet were in bad condition, and he is
only resting up to give them time to
heal Shelton'S stride does not give
the appearance Of being long one, but
is remarkably quick. He carries a
stick or corn cob in each hand to give
him something to grip. He chews tooth
picks in order to keep his mouth moist.
When walking he swings his left arm
considerably more than he does his
right. He wears Undertaking, socks,

claims to lose time On hills, not in 60

and throw him off for distance of
block or more. He says he kept his
stride all the time he was coming from
