AUTOMOBILE CRASHED IN
FRONT TELEGRAM BUILDING

Scarcely a day passes without MANY
narrow escapes from automobile col
lisions at the corner of Main street
and Massachusetts avenue in front of
the Telegram building, there seeming
to be a general disregard of speed
rules and the exercise Of caution.
This corner is all the more dangerous
because of the grade on both streets
so that if cars are not under absolute
control trouble is sure to follow. But
sometimes even with great care, mis-
kaps occur and this seems to have
been the case Thursday night when a
Ford containing six ladies', driven by
Miss Almaria Nancy of East Oranc
street, was side-swiped by a big Pack
ard driven by c. A Austin. The Ford
was coming north on Massachusetts;
as it swung into Main street the Pack
ard doomed in sight from behind Il
row of parked cars on the southern
curb. The two machines failed to
clear by three or four feet, the Ford
catching the Packard's heavy left
fender in such a manner as to throw
the Ford against the curb in front oi
the Telegram building. stripping off
three tires. The windshield of tho
Ford was smashed, several flying
pieces cutting the cheek of Miss Edith
Nancy who was in the front seat. She
was taken to the office of DR.. Mayn.
ard who used eight stitches to sew up
the wound. The driver of the Ford
was Miss Almarina Nancy who told
Telegram representative that she
has been driving between Plant City
and Lakeland more than four years
and had never been in an accident.
With her were Miss Edith who was
injured, Mrs. Nancy, Miss Sophia
Nancy, Miss Colwell and Miss Bell
These ladies received severe shak-
ing up and of course were badly
frightened.
