FORMER RESIDENTS OF ALTAMONT RUN DOWN ON STREET IN ELIZABETH, N. J.

Mrs. Frank Bogart and her seven-year-old daughter, Audrey, of Westfield avenue, Elizabeth, N.J., former residents of Altamont, are in serious condition at the St. Elizabeth hospital, that city, as the result of being run down in Westfield avenue, opposite Magie street, about 3:25 last Friday afternoon, by an automobile driven by George Harrison, colored, of Newark. 

The little girl had just recovered from an attack of scarlet fever and her mother was taking her out for the first time since the illness, with the intention of going downtown to let the child see the Christmas displays in the stores. 

Mrs. Bogart sustained fractures of the right leg and right arm, and lacerations of the head, while the child had several teeth knocked out and was badly cut and bruised about the chin. 

It was stated that both probably will recover, though the condition of the child is more serious because of her recent attack of scarlet fever. 

The accident created much excitement in the neighborhood and a crowd quickly collected. The patrolman placed the injured mother and daughter in the automobile and accompanied them to the hospital. He reported the automobile is owned by Mrs. David Straus of Newark, who was in the car with a maid. 

After driving the car to the hospital, Harrison was taken to police headquarters, where a summons was served on him to appear in court on a charge of driving the machine at a greater rate of speed than 12 miles an hour.
