The many friends of Mrs. George 
F. Allen regret to learn of her de- 
parture for. Danvers, after contin- 
uously living in the town for more 
than 60 years. Left alone in the 
world by the death of Mr. Allen last

better cared for at the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. Osborne Leach, who have 
a large country home on Maple street, 
Danvers,.and conesquently she was 
taken there by automobile Tuesday. 
Frank P. Tenney had a narrow es- 
cape from serious accident Wednes- 
day. He was coming down Cen- 
tral street in his small auto when a 
boy let a large iron hoop roll directly 
in the path of the machine. Before 
the power could be shut off the hoop 
had been struck and in so doing it 
turned the car completely around and 
sent it up over the sidewalk into the. 
iron rail fence, which. protects the 
dam in the center of the town. Had 
the rail not been there, or had it not 
been very strong Mr. Tenney and his 
machine would have gone overboard. 
As it was one of the large iron stand- 
ards was. snapped off near. the base. 
It was a very narrow escape.
