TWO C0OMbS MILLS

ham, whom he was assisting, were

by Fred Srnone Of this city, and MI.

believed to be very s.ritus.

the Coombs Mills locality, and the
accident occurred within sight OF
both their homes. Simone operating
a Ford car was proceeding north and
was on his way to Silver Lake, when
he saw the two men ahead about to
step out onto the travelled portion of
the road. Simone claimed that he
sounded his horn several times and
believed that thestwo men would stop
to let him pass, but instead they con-
tinued directly into his path and in
his effort to go around them he went
to the extreme left of the road be-
fore the car struck the two men.
Mr.. Couant who was nearest the
approaching car and who was en-
deavoring to assist Mr.. Pinkham who
is quite elderly and has imperfect
hearing, was struck first by the ST.
none car. Mr.. Conant was picked
up and fell across the mud guard
and was not badly hurt. Mr.. Pink
ham was struck forcibly and thrown
to the highway, striking on the side
OF his face and head. One wheel OF
the automobile passed over him, and
Mr.. Pinkham did not recover con-
seriousness for about one hour after
he had been taken to his home.
An investigation of the unfortun-
ate accident was at once undertaken
by officers from the state Highway
department and the Augusta Police.

Telephone Talk is
No Action for SANDER

Vienna. July 27.-You may "cuss"
another man over the telephone in
Austria all YOU want to. even though
the operator listens in, and yet not
make yourself liable to action for
Islander. The Vienna courts have Just
held insults conveyed through the tel
ephone are not public insults, even if
telephone operator overhears the con-
versation.
A merchant called another a vaga-
bond. The "vagabond' sued for SANDER
The courts first question was whether
any body was within hearing. 1t was
proven the conversation had taken
place from a private telephone booth,
so that nobody except the operators
could have overheard. The court held
no SANDER was involved contending
that the inevitable operator constituted
no third party" but that merely a
transmission instrument of the tele-
phone service.
