Mrs. Hoon was struck fairly by the car and thrown into space alighting on her head and shoulder. She was badly bruised and a deep cut was inflicted upon the top of her head.

She was picked up and taken to her home where medical attention was given, the cut requiring about fourteen stitches. She has been confined to her bed since the accident but at last report was getting along as well as can be expected. It was a miraculous escape from death or permanent injury. Mrs. Freeman was struck by the fender but escaped with a shaking up.

The ladies saw the car approaching but thought they had plenty of time to cress as it was some distance away but it came more rapidly than they expected, hit them and went right on. The car contained two young men from Armstrong county and they were stopped further up the street and brought back. They were later permitted to continue their journey castward.
