Careless Driving Cause OF the
Death of James A. FloG

James A. Flood, aged SO years,
a native of Canada, came to his
death Nov. 4, by means of careless
driving of an automobile by Charles
D. Snyder. F."
The above is the verdict OF the
coroner's jury which spent the en-
tire morning Monday inquiring into
the details surrounding the accident
of last Saturday, in which the we'll
known Meridian man was fatally
injured, says the Capital News Of
Tuesday
According to the evidence given by
Snyder, he attempted to dash be-
tween another automobile and a
wagon on which there was a hay
rack. His rear wheel struck front
wheel of car driven by Charles
Borden of Parma, swinging it around.
This car struck Mr.. Flood, knocking
him off the grade into the ditch and
causing internal injuries which re-
suited in his death Sunday.
The accident occurred very close to
the point at which Vernon Henry
member of the University glee
club, met his tragic death in an ac-
cident last April.
The jury this morning visited the
scene, had hay rack placed on a
wagon and had the two drivers of
the automobiles re-enact as near as
possible the driving of Saturday
night The jury was Of the opinion
that Snyder was careless in attempt
ing to drive between wagon and
machine at so narrow point in the
road.
The testimony given by Mr.. Snyder
was to the effect that lie did not see
Mr.. Flood at all, which the jury be-
lieved to be true, as he was evidently
hidden from his view by the other
machine. He also testified that his
eye-sight was not good and he often
saw black objects before him. He
gave his business as farmer and
mining man and his address as Robi-
nette, Ore. Mr.. Snyder stopped his
machine and assisted in putting Mr
Flood in the automobile which took
him to the hospital and then report
ed the accident to the police.

Miracle Plays Were Popular Among
the Great Guilds Of England in

In England, during the middle ages,
though no theaters were built, some
forms OF dramatic entertainment were
extremely popular, and We're carried

other properties. In the fifteenth CEN
fury almost every one of the great
guilds or secret fraternities acted
some sort Of miracle play. usually
chosen with reference TO the patron
saint Of the guild.
Inventories of the theatrical proper
ties of some of these guilds still ex-
list. and in some cases the list includes
the most gorgeous silk and gold dam
asks and magnificent damascened
armor, altogether worth I'm modern
money some thousands Of dollars. The
story of st. George rcscuing the prin-

Cactus as a Heart StimuIant.

The occasional discovery Of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrustins itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped de-

tations Of thc sum total of human
knowledge as compared 10 the still I'M
solved mysteries of the universe. re-

that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulant For
merry the entire cactus family was re-
garded as practically useless for man

Then il was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shOrn of its Spines and

stance which appeared 10 be power
full heart Stimulant for human beings.
Curiously enough. this substance does
not affect the lower animals ~ il does

Investigators TO question its potency.
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals or, at least some OF
them i'm much the same manner as
they affect human beings Cactus II an
