near John Simonds' home, a large dog
ran in front of the car. One wheel
struck the animal and turned the wheel.
In her fright, Mrs. Haskell clutched at
her sons arm on the steering rod, and
both influences caused the car to sweve
from the road and it rolled over the
bank. Mrs. Haskell's hands and left arm
were badly bruised and both were much
shaken up. They were taken to Mr..
Slmonds house, where much kindness
and attention were shown them. They
