The automobile belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs. L. L. Myers of Chica-
go, who were members of the auto
mobile party en- route to St. Paul
met with an accident near Charles
City. The chauffeur, Harry Cairns
has since died from the effects of
his injuries and all of the passengers
were badly hurt. The party was
composed of L. Z. Myers, a Chicago
millionaire business man, his wife,
The chauffeur, Harry Cairns, and DR..
l.. E. Evens of Waterloo. The
Waterloo Reporter says in its ac-
count of the accident, "They were
blowing through the mud and water
at the rate of Ii or 20 miles an hour
guided only by the light reflected
from the headlights of their machine.
When within four miles of Charles
City, they came upon creek where
the bridge had washed away. The
left wheel of the automobile stuck
in rut at the edge of the elnbank-
ment which swerved the machine to
one side and rendered the stearing
gear of no account. The big maS
chine weighing two tons, swerved a
second on the embankment and then
went down a distance of nearly
thirty feet, striking in the bottom Of
the ravine upside down with three
of the passengers pinned beneath it.
The lights of the automobile had
been extinguished when it toppled
over the embankment. Despite his
many injuries and bruises, DR..
Evens ran at top speed up the high
way a distance Of three-fourths Of a
mile, to the home of a farmer for
assistance. Two men with crowbars,
a jack screw, and other instruments
responded. to his call and the Water
loo man continued his journey in
search Of more help. Others re-
sponded willingly During the time
he was in search of help, Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. L. Myers and Harry Cairns
lay beneath tue heavy carriage call
ing for help. Eight men fastened
to the scene. and tried to lift the
machine. Their combined efforts
resulted in failure. AS a last resort
the man procured spades and dug
trenches underneath the automobile
md extricated them in that manner.
