Two Scary Hairbreadth Es capes Happen to Motorists On Dry Creek Hill. The past week has been fraught with automobile aooidents, no less than tbree oooorring in this part of the connty. Fortunately no lives were lost, aod only minor injuries re sulted. Coming down the maoadam road on the hill east of town, during the rain storm Saturday evening, Miss Gladys Bannister, at tbe wheel of a Ford oar, with tbe throttle wide open, herself and tbree otber ooonpants, were thrown into the ditob, and only tbe faot that tbe ditob was there and tbe. oar Blighted across it, prevented a fa tal accident. Miss Baunister was driving the Ma rob oar, and was speeding against a big Studebaker oar, at tbe time of tbe aooident. Tbe Ford oar was own ed by Mr. Marob, who resides near Weston, and who was riding in tbe rear seat with Miss Taylor of Weston. Young Bergeviu was in front with Miss Bannister. Miss 'laylorwas thrown tbrougb the top of the oar, and Mr. Marob was able to extrioate himself without as sistance, Dot Miss Bannister and Mr. Barg- in lay nnder tbe oar in the ditob until rescued when help arrived. All escaped with alight bruises. The car tnrned turtle and struck the ground, bottomside np and com pletely end far end. Tbe otber two accidents oooured Wednesday during tbe Milton horse show, on tbe two Dry oreek hills. Ohautfoer Boss, who has been dem onstrating a Carter oar in Atbena for several days, was returning from Milton, having as passengers, Mrs. Rush and three danghters. Asoending the bill on this side of tbe oreek, when at a po int about three hundred yards above the small bridge, an at tempt waa made to go aronnd a team, when tbe oar was driven too near tbe edge, of the embankment. It over turned and went tumDiing into th ditob, 25 feet telow. In making tbe desoent, tbe oar tnrned oompletely over twloe aod alighted right side up in the ditoh, and ont of the terrible aitnation tbe fonr passengers emerged with only slight bruises, with the ezoeption of Mrs. Bush, who suffered tbe disloca tion of her shoulder. The oar was somewhat wreoked. The third aooident ooonrred a short while after. It happened on the east hill, when the Weston autotruck, loaded with pionickers, returning from Milton, got beyond oontrol of tbe driv er and ran away for some distanoe down the hill. Tbe passengers leaped from tbeir seats, and Dave Lavender of Weston, wsb severely injured. The driver re gained oontrol of tbe maobina. Mr. Lavender was brought iuto Weston by tbe Plamondon maobine of this city. All who left tbe oar were more or less injured, and Mrs. Win. Graham was severely hnrt about tbe knees, tbe ligaments being torn loose, it is aaid that bad not tbe load been lightened, the truck would nndouttedly have left the road and been turned into the gulob. Foot of Eocene Age? A petrified human foot, gigantio in size and dating baok probably to the eocene or pleiooene ages, waa fonnd in Pendleton Saturday by Theodore V. Howard, tbe arobiteot and brought to the office of tbe Evening Trlbnne, re ports that paper. It waa taken from tbe excavation of tbe new Tribune building on Garden street. Tbe foot is olearly shaped, of strange formation, and shows the powerful size of man in those days. It is plainly human in form, with no apish suggestion, nd bears strong arohed instep. No Joke at All. Reginald came into the club In a highly excited state one afternoon and drew an acquaintance aside into a corner of the lounge. "What do yon thinkr said he. "I went to see that broker fellow Rosen wasser and asked for a loan of f 1,000 to tide me over. If you'll believe me the bounder said nil be could spare was BO centa." "Never mind. Reggie," replied the acquaintance soothingly, "that was just Rosenwasser's little Joke." "Joke! Too call It a joke, do you? Look here! Here's the SO cents." New York Poat Rough on Ellen. Among the quaint scrapbooks of tbe late Clyde Fitch there was one devoted entirely to typographical errors. One of these errors appeared in a criticism of Ellon Terry. The review er wrote. "Her love of Portia made acting easy." The sentence appeared in the paper as 'Her lore of port made acting easy.'" Florida Times-Union.
