fence and cutting one of the women
quite seriously on the lower limb,
They called for help from the Bair
home and were taken to the Atlantic
hospital where they are cared for .
The car was not injured at all but

peared when the people came to help
them, weather for shame or to keep
from being identified, but they made
themselves scarce at any rate.
