The touring car owned by John M.
Hughes, 500 North Fourth street, and
occupied by Mr.. Hughes, his son, Roy,
County Surveyor William Bremner,
and prospective tenant for the Hughes
farm, east Of town, was ditched at a
point two miles out on Main street
Tuesday in order to avoid a collision
with a passing team.
Mr.. Hughes alleges that the accident
could have been avoided just as. well
as not had the driver of the rig been
willing to have given half the road.
Hughes claims that he turned out to
let the team pass. but the driver made
no move at all, and, il nything, kept
crowding in. Mr.. Hughes saw that a
collision would be inevitable if the
man did not turn little, so hegsent his
machine down the steep embanfsinent,
and into the ditch, One, wheel was
broken, but aside from that the car was
not damaged. None Of the occupants
were hurt, as all jumped. Mr.. Hughes
claims to have established the identity
of the man driving the rig; and expects

the damages.
