> MISS HENNEFORD INJURED. t Misses Matilda Heneford and Francis IRolli, two clerks at the Lead l er department store were slightly inijured in-an upset of their buggy as they were on their way home to Vera [ Cruz from the store. The girls are met each day at the 8., G, C. C. stop 'at Vera Cruz by Miss Rolli's brother, 1 Harold, who takes them to the residence district in a buggy. As the rig was being turned around to leave the car the trolley pole of the inter1 urban slipped from the wire causing a large blaze of fire for a short “time, i The horse frightened at this and , whirled around over turning the bnv- . gy. The occupants were thrown out of the rig and the buggy fell on top of them. Fred Linnenger, an employe of the Studabaker elevator, at Vera Cruz saw the accident and ran out. in time to prevent the horse from running away. The ladies were caught in the buggy that if the horse , had started to run they would have been seriously if not fatally injured. They escaped with only bad bruise. , —Bluffton Banner. i Miss Heneford is a siter of Mrs. Dan Niblick of this city.

Halberstadt, it is said, imagined that Johnson, who was talking to a fellow with whom Halberstadt was angry, was taking ‘‘sides’’ against him, when it was claimed [that Johnson was only talking about some books. | FOR RENT —Four I’efurnlshea rooms at 116 So.
