that the rear wheel of the machine had
given way through some mishap while
the car was going at a high rate of
speed

When the wheel went down the car
turned turtle and all the occupants
were hurled into a ditch. One man
was thrown into a barb wire fence at
the side of the road, head first His

fore he could be released. Another
man was thrown against the glass
windbreak and badly cut a third
man had his collar bone fractured
There were nine passengers in the car
and all were badly shaken up.
Taken to vaIpo Hospital.
The injured were taken by farmer
to the Loring sanitarium. where their
wounds were dressed. All efforts to
get their identity were failures.
Towards evening the other occu-

/ and said that they We're going to take
I the injured to Chicago. The latter
