an auto in which were riding Mayor
and Mrs. Charles Chism and Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis H. Lake, of National Park.

of this place. AS the machine neared

cross the tracks, the train caught it a
glancing blow, turning the car and
making it skid sidewise. The occu-
pants were thrown out on the ground.
First aid a given, and the party
rushed to the Atlantic City Hospital,
where it was found that Mayor Chism
was the only one seriously injured,
presumably with a fractured hip and
decorations about the face. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lake were cut specifically with
flying glass, and are still suffering
from the nervous shock. They are
resting at the home of a brother-in-
law, Edward Ryon, of Bakersville. !
