BUGGY SMASHED BY AUTO.

Granville Moody’s New Machine Overturns Buggy Occupied by Mrs. Stephen Kohley and Her » Children. F\The big new auto of Grantville Moody’s, driven by Granville Moody, Jr., clashed into a buggy, containing Mrs. Stephen Kohley and two children, in front of the court house on Washington street Sunday morning. The buggy was overturned and the occupants, one of them a child *Tbss than a year old, were pinioned under the wreckage. Fortunately the horse stood perfectly still or else both must have been killed or seriously injured.}/ The auto was moving /a slow rate of speed when the accident happened and smashed only the rear spring and right rear wheel of the buggy, with np worse damages to itself than broken light. Mrs. Kohler fell almost directly in front of the big machine, and when she opened her eyes and saw it in front of her she was almost frightened to death, feeling certain that she would be crushed, underneath. Young Moody, who was just learning to operate the machine, had Art Battleday in with him as instructor. There were two buggies almost together and young Moody had his eyes on one and did not see the other. Fortunately Mrs. Kohley nor children were hurt in their sudden exit from the buggy to the ground.
