path, but the machine, which was then
going at a speed less than 10 miles an
hour, threw the back truck into the
ditch.
Miss Murphy attempted to shield her
head and shoulders by thrusting her
hands and arms forward. Her hands
and arms were badly cut A deep cash
was inflicted beneath her right eye by
the sharp stubble on which she fell
The injuries will not be serious unless
