FATAL ACCIDENT TO
MISS anna LENEHAN
Struck by Automobile While
Crossing Street Near Strong
Theatre, Domestic Nurse Dies
Few Hours Later at Hospital
Car Going Slowly

Miss Anna Lenehan, a domestic nurse
was struck Saturday night by an auto
mobile driven by Wallace G.. Holmes near
The Strong theatre and died a few hours
later at tho Mary Fletcher hospital,
where she was taken.
The accident happened shortly after
nine O'Clock when both sides of the street
in the vicinity were filled by the auto
mobiles which those attending the min
strel show had left near tho curb.as,
According to the story Of witnesses,
Mr.. Holmes was proceeding up the street
at a very slow rate Of speed. Miss
Lenehan. who was accompanied by her
sister, stepped out from between two
automobiles directly in front of the truck
which Mr. Holmes was driving. Tho
deed was done so suddenly that Holmes
did not realize he had struck anyone
until he felt the jar of the front trucks
going over something. At the same time
he saw Miss Lenehan's sister waving her
arms franticallY As soon as possible
he stopped. Miss Lenehan was pulled
from underneath the truck and Howard
Wrisht's automobile was pressed into
service In order to get the wounded
woman to the Mary Fletcher hospital
The accident is a peculiar one In that
the machine was going at slow hate
of speed and the officials wish to warn
people Of the danger of eros ing the road
without looking In both directions, par
ticularly when not using the sidewalks.
At this time. when so many automobiles
are in use, It is very dangerous to cross
the road at any place other than tho
cross walks. Holmes has driven
machine for the last eight years and his
record shows that, previous to this. hs
had covered more than 5000 miles with
out the slightest accident.

The report Of the treasurer showed
that the Burlington Branch has S5,Os77 a
in the treasury. The amount in the trea-
sury year ago was s12,7S6.23. This does
not mean. however, that the financial
condition is not so good a year ago,
because the organization had need of
more money at that time than is the
case at present, and some of the money
taken out Of tho sl2.7S623 was not eX-
pended directly by the BURLINGTON Branch
but had to be put in to il up the city's
quota for the Red Cross roll call last
