AND ABOUT SMYRNA Sat

was returning from the colored
picnic at Woodland Beach when
nearing Rothwell's Landing, the
mules gave a sudden lunge from a
severe slash of the whip which
threw John Henry Walton, the
driver, off the wagon under the
wheels (Which were supporting six
men) his head falling in front of
the fore wheel finally serving as a
chock, the hind wheel running over
his foot The latter was hurt very
badly but his head was only slight
~ cut. On Saturday, in a bit of

mon K. Shortman asked George
Kloeberg to let him see his ham

latter called to him to bring it

PAGES when the knife was hurled,
the blade striking his hand, MAX

severing the connection between
index and the middle finger at the
joint. On Friday William McAfee,
a lad Of Philadelphia, who is on a
visit to his brother, Robert, stuck
the tine of a fork clear through
his heel by being thrown upon it
by the sudden starting Of the
horses attached to the wagon.
