DAWSON MAN HAS
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
PINNED HOUR AND HALF UN-
DER AUTOMOBILE. EXPECTED
GAS TO IGNITE ANY TIME.

Pinned under an automobile in a
ditch by a lonely country roadside,
with escaping gasoline running over
him and his arms pinioned so that
he could not turn off the switch and
thus end the impending danger of
burning to death, was the narrowing
experience of MIR. B. H. Holder, of
near Dawson, on Thursday night be-
tween Albany and Flint, in Dougher-
ty county.
Mr.. Holders left arm was free
from the elbow and after twisting
and turning he finally managed to
reach the switch and thus ended the
peril~of the escaping gasoline becom-
ing ignited. For an hour and a half
ne remained in that position before
a passing automobile party rescued
him and two negroe men imprisoned
under the car with him.
One automobile passed during that
time without the occupants hearing
the shouts of the imprisoned men.
Mr.. Holder was badly bruised and
skinned but not seriously hurt. The
negroes were only slightly hurt.
