An automobile collision at the junction
of Putney road and Black Mountain road,
at the Goodall stone watering basin, dam
aged two cars about $50 O'Clock last eve
ming and inflicted injuries ON a two-year-
old baby that at first caused grave con-
Germ but which proved later not 20 be Sc
rious
Harry Winn of West Chesterfield, n.
H., who is employed at the Scott farm and
goes home in his Chevrolet car each eve
ming, was driving down the Black Noun
tain road, which intersects Putney road
from the west at the watering basin, at
the same time that Mr. Moore of Spring
field, Mass, travelling salesman, was
driving south on Putney road with his
wife and little boy In his Ford ma
chine, the boy riding in his mothers lap.
Mr.. Moore was driving on the right
hand side and did not see or know that
there was an intersecting road Mr.. Winn
was looking southwark and did not see
| the other car, and as neither driver sound
| ed his horn neither knew of the presence
| of the other until an instant before the
| two forward ends struck each other cor
| nerwise.
| The impact turned AIR Moore's car
| across the street, and it struck a pole,
which may have kept it from tipping over.
| Mr.. Moore did, however, put ON his brake.
| Mr.. Ninn did not have time to put on
the brake until the crash, but as soon as
possible he stopped and returned to the
/ Moore party.
| 1t was seen that both machines were
damaged somewhat, but first attention
was given to the child, as he was bleed
ing profusely from the forehead, upper
| lip, and neck from cuts made by flying
pieces of glass All four persons went into
the home of George Z. Thomas, who lives
in the house on the corner southwest of
the watering basin, and DIR. j. T. Tracy
of this village was summoned by telephone.
While waiting for DR.. Tracy, Mrs. Moore
and Mrs. Thomas removed numerous
pieces of glass from the child's mouth
and from his clothing The clothing also
was saturated with blood, and the sit
uation as a whole caused some alarm un-
til DR.. Tracy arrived in his car Sutures
were used in closing the wound on the
Ichild's forehead, over the right eye, which
was about two inches long, but the cut
on his lip did not require sewing up
| There was slight cut also on his neck
and the right temple was black and blue.
Mrs. Moore sustained a bruise on one arm.
The two men were not hurt
An examination of the machines showed
that on Mr.. Winn's car the mud guard
was crumpled and the wind shield smashed.
On Mr.. Moore's car the radiator was dent
ed, lamp broken and the mud guard
bent. Both cars were able to proceed un-
der their own power. They were running
about 20 miles an hour when the acci-
dent happened. Mr.. Moore and family
started home about O'Clock
This is the third collision at that point
in about a year, and the corner is con-
sidered a dangerous one, but there is moth
ing to warn travellers of the danger About
a year ago automobiles owned by Henry
Gilfeather, who lives in that locality, and
DIR. Z. 5. Bowen of this village came to-
gether there and DR.. Bowen's car was
overturned. Although the car contained
three men nobody was injured.
