SERIOUS ACCIDENT - Mr. Robert Farrar, of Crabb-street, an employee of the Rushden and Higham Gas Company, met with a serious accident on Saturday afternoon last. Mr. Farrar and another employee of the Gas Company were attending to lamps in Higham-road, and they had just stepped off the path into the gutter by the side of the road when a motor car belonging to Mr. Lawrence, of Raunds, driven by a lady, came along. The splash-board caught Mr. Farrar, whose right arm was fractured, and who also sustained cuts on the left hand and other parts. Mr. Farrar, who is 62 years of age, had only just got over a surgical operation.
