John Cleveland, in the employ of Frank S. Mason, was severely injured Monday by a collision of an auto truck with the gravel cart he was driving.

The truck was a new Packard on its way from Boston to Portsmouth for delivery and was driven by a colored man named Linwood of Maplewood, Mass., and the accident happened near the Guinea road.

Linwood was careless and had his eyes on the signboards at the corner, evidently desiring to know if he was on the right road, and he did not see Cleveland's team until too late. The truck struck one corner of the dump cart and swung it around. The impact frightened the horses and started them to running, and also threw Cleveland from his seat in such a manner that he fell first to the pole and then to the ground, but held the reins until the horses were stopped.

Cleveland had a shoulder fractured, his back injured, and perhaps internal injuries. Linwood was arrested and fined for reckless driving, which was paid. The auto truck was attached in a civil suit for damages, the amount of which will be determined by the result of the injuries.

Mrs. George T. Lindsey

A double sorrow came to the home of George T. Lindsey last week, in the loss of his wife and oldest son, Ashton. Mrs. Lindsey passed away in Portsmouth, where she had gone for treatment, and the eve before Ashton's loss was confirmed by a dispatch from Washington. This had been feared since the loss of the Memphis, but there had been some hope that he might have been saved, but hope was now abandoned. His mother passed away without knowing of his loss, and, as a friend remarked, would be surprised to find him awaiting her on the other shore. Mrs. Lindsey had been in poor health for a long time but she had great courage, and bore her suffering patiently. She was devoted to her family and not often is seen such loving care as has been given her by her children. Lorraine, the daughter, has been her mother's especial comfort. Thoughtful and beyond her years, she was mother's helper to the last. Mrs. Lindsey was especially bright and entertaining in her manner, and had a large circle of friends who mourn her loss. To the husband and three remaining children, to the father who has seen much sorrow, to the brother, Percy, who was not able to be present, and her sister, Anna, who one year ago this month lost her only son by drowning, the sympathy of all their friends is extended. The funeral services were held in the Congregational church on Sunday afternoon, and were largely attended. The Grange of which she was a member attended in a body. The services were conducted by Rev. J.A. Ross, who married Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey.
