The automobile Of Gardner Wilson Of
Burlington went off the bank near Green
Mount cemetery last night. The car had
been driven through this city towards
Burlington and must have been going at
high rate of speed. 1t crossed the road
and went into the garden of Fred L.
Smith. 1t was wonder that it was not
tipped over, but it was more Of a wonder
that q girl, whose name was not learned
this morning, was not hit by the car, for
she was working in the garden at the
time. The car went through a potato
patch and spoiled other parts of the gar
den. 1t was removed during the late
night. The expense of settlement for
damage amounted to S55.
