MYSTERIOUS ROAD ACCIDENT.

About 1 o’clock on Saturday, Eric Bromley, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Bromley, of the "First and Last," Ash, while cycling to Sandwich, found a man lying unconscious in a pool of blood with his bicycle on top of him between the Ashens and Each End. Dr. MacCall Smith, Dr. Rose and P.C. Tims soon arrived, and the injured man was conveyed to Deal Hospital where he was found to have sustained a fractured skull. He was later identified as James Petley, an ex-naval man, of Bowling St, Sandwich, and an employee at Ash Brewery.

There were no marks on the road and the cause of the accident is a mystery.
