sMoTHERED IN SAND BIN
J. H. Coulter Meets Death At
Sand Washing Plant

James H. Coulter, aged As
years, Of Rowlandville, employ
ed at the Geo. A. Atkinson sand
and gravel quarry and washing
plant, near Woodlawn, met ac-
cidental death on Monday
morning, about seven o'clock.
AS the sand and gravel are
quarried it runs through a
washer into bins, and is loaded
into trucks through a narrow
shoot in the bottom of the bin.
The sand had become clog
ged in the bin and Coulter had
climbed to the top of it, with
a shovel, to loosen it. Whether
he stepped or fell into the bin
is not known, as fellow work
mn did not see the accident.
The first intimation they had
that something was amiss was
when a gum boot clogged the
shoot. Frantic efforts were
made to rescue the unfortunate
man, who had sunk to the bot
tom of the bin and was covered
with tons of sand, but it was
necessary to shovel the sand
out, and it was some time be-
fore the body was extricated,
life hninp nxfinct whom If woc
uncovered.
Coroner F. Rodney Frazer,
of Elkton, gave a verdict of ac-
cidental death.
Coulter was a native of Vir-
ginia, coming to this locality
about two years ago. He re-
sided on the Hale farm, near
Rowlandville, and is survived
by his wife and four small
children.

According to ]. V. B. Duer
electrical engineer of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, the electri-
fication of the system between
Philadelphia, New York and
Washington will be completed

completion the PENNSYLVANIA
system will operate more miles
or electrified trackage than any
other American railroad, and

FIVE INJURED IN AUTO
ACCIDENT
Sedan And Truck de.SWipe
Near Fair Hill

Five Newark, Del, girls, all
employees Of the Victor Spark
Ter Co., near Elkton, suffered
cuts and bruises, and one of
them a fracture hip, Tuesday
morning, when the sedan in
which they were riding to work
and a truck side-swiped on the
Elkton-Fair Hill road, near the
plant where they were employ
ed. The most painfully injur-
ed of the five girls is Miss Anna
Willis, who had to remain in
Union Hospital, Elkton, with a
fractured hip and bruises and
cuts about her face. All of the
girls range in age from Is to
% years.
The others injured were:
Miss Lydia Beans, lacerated
face and scalp; Miss Louise
Sacconey, lacerated nose and
bruises; Miss Victoria George,
cut about arms; Miss Pearl
Badders, cut about scalp and
chin, bruised about body.
With the exception of Miss
Wills, the girls were able to re-
turn to their homes after be-
ing treated at the Hospital.
The accident occurred about
seven o'clock, when the sedan,
driven by Miss Badders, and a
truck owned by Dinsmore Bros.
of Rising Sun, and driven by
Thomas Hunter of this town,
side-swiped in attempting to
pass each other. The mishap
is alleged to have been due to
the heavy fog that prevailed at
the time.
The truck was engaged in
hauling material for the new
road under construction be-
tween Fair Hill and Lewisville,
by the P. D. Phillips Co. Both
the sedan and truck were badly
damaged.

knowing anything about any
telephone poles in that vicin-
ity. Three of them, however,
admitted getting out of the car
at that point, and while being
chased several were seen to
Jump from the car between
Korner Ketch and Colora.
When the pursuing car, run
ming on a fiat tire, caused by
humping into the barricade,
reached the point where the
youths were last seen to
emerge from their car, a Sec
ond barricade of tar drums was
found across the road.
After hearing the testimony
of a number of witnesses and
the denials of all the youths,
their tales being very contra
dictory, they were all adjudg-
ed guilty, delivered a severe
reprimand and each fined $40
and costs of $1.45.
The Magistrate is being CEN
sured by some of the parents of
the youths for finding their
truthful CD darlings guilty of
any misdemeanor, and he is
also being censured by a num-
Der of highly indignant citizens
for not sending this whole
bunch to the Cut for a term,
for endangering the lives Of
autoists driving along the road
Halloween night.
