miles west of town, had a narrow es-
cape from death Monday afternoon
while driving on the highway east of

crates to his farm on his wagon when

by its being hit, presumably by
passing car. The fall rendered him
unconscious and he did not know what
had happened for some time after
ward. When able to understand again
he was being cared for by tourist
who hurried him to Grantsville where
DR.. Davis dressed his wounds, which
consisted of deep cut on his scalp
and bruised shoulder. His son Paul,
upon learning of the accident, hastily
came to town and found his father
being cared for and then accompanied
him home. Whenthe wagonwas struck
the horses became excited and ran
away, but they were later caught. Mr..
Wisseman is unable to give any ac-
count of the accident or how it oc-
Cured. He is likewise in the dark
concerning the identity of the party
responsible, the affair happening so
suddenly.
On Monday two cars, a Jordan and
