Going at the rate of forty five
miles an hour, six JOY riders in the
Kaufman and Wolf seven passenger,
Mitchell automobile, went headlong
into the Grand Calumet river at Hoh-
man street last night. All escaped
without serious injury, but why one
or more were not killed outright and
the others fatally injured, is more
than any one who has seen the wreck
has attempted to explain.
Those in the machine were as fol-
lows:
Frank L. Tucker, married. %
years old, lives at the State Line
