CURIOUS ACCIDENT At
DYER YESTERDAY
Huge Auto Rams Carriage
in Rear Blacksmith Need
ed to Separate Vehicles

A serious accident was narrowly
averted yesterday at Dyer when a huge
automobile struck a buggy containing
Herman Tenternacher and his wife and
daughter, on a narrow bridge over the
river. The chauffeur of the machine
managed to bring it to a stop after he
struck the vehicle and the forward
wheels and bonnet of the auto pre-
vented the carriage and its occupants
from being hurled over the rail into
water. The Tenternacher party was
driving along, obvious to the fact that
the machine was approaching in the
rear, and the first they knew of its
proximity was when the forward
wheels of the auto plowed into the rear
and lifted them from the ground. The
machine was brought to a stop, and
although the horse tried his best to
free the rig from the miXup, it was i'm
possible. So firmly imbedded between
the wheels of the carriag was the bon
net of the auto that it was found i'm
possible to separate them until a
blacksmith arrived and took the car
riage apart The names of the auto
| party could not be obtained. No one
was injured, but the women were badly
| frightened

Before a word Of testimony has been
taken Miss Walletta May YeakIe, the
fourteen-year-o niece of the late
multi millionaire, Colonel George T.
Cline, has won the first important steps
in her fight to wrest the site of Gary.
Ind, from the United States Steel cor
poration.
After vigorously denying her claim
and charging an eXtortion plot the
trustees of the $3oOO.o0O estate have
been forced to concede every point she
has made in the fight thus far
Yesterday the demurrers filed by the
trustees whereby they raised the objec-
tion that the girl had no title to a
large share of the Cline millions. were
withdrawn. They were called up for
argument before Judge HOnore of the
circuit court by Miss Yeakle's counsel
William Ritchie, but the attorneys for
the trustees quietly asked leave to file
answer and pulled down the demurrers
Her right to sue was thus established
The court already had caused an or
der TO be entered practically enjoinins

the $500, 900 worth of property of the
Cline estate still remaining in theil
hands
