Fuller's automobile met a horse and wagon coming up the hill at that point. and behind it steam auto mobile, driven by D. N. Butterworth of 96 Palmer avenue, Springfield. Mir Fuller swung out to the left, his inten- tion apparently being to go far enough to clear both the team and MT. Butter worth's automobile, though it may have been that he did not see the other ma chine. The touring car ran we'll up on the bank on the left side of the road, and when it came down it struck the Butter worth car on the front wheel. It then turned completely over. and Miss Niles, Miss Sibley ana Earl Smith, who had been sitting on the back seat, were all penned in.

 Young Sibley saw the collision coming and jumped, escaping without even B scratch. MT. Fuller was thrown some distance ill the collision and was quite badly hurt. Assistance soon came and several men lifted the overturned auto mobile up so that the three who were imprisoned were freed. It was found that providentially none of them were hurt at all seriously, although they were all bruised and shaken. Miss Niles was unconscious for time, but proves not to have been injured. Miss Niles is a Smith college graduate. Miss Sibley was somewhat scratched and bruised and Earl Smith had some cuts and bruises.

Fuller's car, which was an Elmore, was not badly damaged, although it had to be lowed to the Dunbar & Mansir garage in Hol- yoke.
