DEWEY AUTO
A serious aocldeut was narrowly
averte.1 this morning, when the
Dew^v house Ford was stepped by
the driver after the machine had
brouen through the railing on the
wharf at>out 100 feet north of the
new planking which hag just been
laid, and while the front wheels
of the machine were hanging over
tha wharf.
Frcm reports obtained from spec
ta\ors, it would seem as though the
bus, loaded with passengers had left
the Sophia, and was headed for
town, and when part way up the
approach, and running slowly, three
nedestrians were signaled by L. F.
Green, who was driving the car
to xive him right of way. The
men evidently did not h^r th0 sig
nal, for when the car had approach
ed to within fifty feet, they then
I noticed the machine, and started
for the west side, but before the
car co uld pags they changed Over
to the cast side. The car made first
for «h0 east side, and when the
men changed their course, the
wheel of the car wag put over to
guide 'he car to the west or left.
Mr. Green, operating the oar, threw
the wheel a little too far, and hit
the guaid rail of tha approach,
and the front wheels Of the car
went over. A numlber of pieces of
hand baggage wag being carried on
♦ he hood of the car, and this was
precipitated into the water, which
at 4 he time was about seven or
elal feet deep.
Outside of the passengers getting
a fca" scare, and the wetting of the
hand baggage, no damage was sus
tained .
by xnoi3e who saw i«e
Mr. Green is credited 'with, showing
much coolness and as he Is a well
exuerieuced driver, uo blame can
be thrown c>n him.
