Morganton, June 14—Misses Mary Kincaid and Essie Glass, Morganton young women, were seriously injured today when a Ford car driven by Miss Ruena Laxton, of this county, ran over them at a street crossing. Miss Laxton was just learning to drive and explained that when she saw the girls, she tried to put her foot on the brake and put it on the accelerator instead. Fred Whisnant was with her in the car.
The injured girls were taken at once to the hospital. Miss Kincaid was found to be the least injured of the two and will recover. Miss Glass has internal injuries, the extent of which is not yet known, which may prove fatal. Both are teachers. Miss Kincaid was a member of the faculty of the Morganton graded schools, and Miss Glass recently returned from Roanoke rapids, where she held a position the past year. The former is the daughter of McKinney Kincaid, a Morganton merchant, and the latter of T.R. Glass, a prominent citizen.
