DIR. G. N. WEIGH narrowly escaped
death Friday morning in a collision be-
tween his auto and the way freight on
the crossing near the granite plant of
Phillips & Slack. DR.. WEIGH with his son,
John, and two other passengers, was GO
ing from Water street to the common
and did not hear or see the freight,
which was shifting in the yards, until he
was almost upon the track. That the ac-
cident did not prove fatal was due to his
presence of mind in turning his car near
ly to right angles and running parallel
to the track so that the engine only hit
the car glancing blow and pushed
it for fifteen or twenty feet, The car
was new Chevrolet, which the doctor
had owned but one day, he having traded
cars only the day previous. The car was
very badly damaged.
