their home at Mt. Sterling, Thursday
evening in the formers Ford ear. Mr..
Brockway shut off the power e the top
Of the hill and took the curve at fair
rath Of speed. Az this point. the road
describes nearly square. turn, thus
giving the lamps no chance to show the
way ahead until completely squared
around, and by this time the machine
was so close to the ladies that it be-
came necessary to throw it at almost
right angles to the road in order to
avoid running them down The auto
turned turtle, pinning both men under
