I%account of an automobile accident that oc-
CURED shortly before The Herald went to
press Saturday afternoon The Herald in
advertently was unjust, perhaps, to County
Tax Collector W. b. Walton. The pub
lished article stated thalt the driver OF the
automobile could not be found by the po-
lice. The facts of the east are that Mr..
Walton was driving the ear and was at
tempting, with all possible care, to move
away from the sidewalk on Elizabeth
street near Twelfth when a boy, about 10
years Of age, suddenly ran out in front OF
the ear. 1t would be difficult to deter
mine, it seems, whether the boy ran into
the ear or the ear ran into the boy. Mr..
Walton at first made an effort TO reach
and assist the boy and later reported the
affair TO the police. The boy seemed to
have been but slightly injured, a. he walk
ed away unassisted.
