Contractor Edward Pearce,
while on his way to Carbondale,
Tuesday night met with an accident
near Inspector John Sharpsteen' S
home that put his machine out of
commission. Pearce says that he
was met by a team that was on the
wrong side of the road and instead
of running into it he turned his car
to the left and crashed into a con-
crete sluice way. The automobile as
a result was wrecked, but Mr.. Pearce
remained in the machine. The right
wheel had three spokes broken and
the wheel left at an angle of As
degrees. The axle was bent and the
springs badly twisted out of shape.
The hood over the machine was dis
lodged, separating ii from the Main
part Of the machine The wind shield
and a small lamp were broken,
while the two headlights located in
front of the machine were undis-
turbed. The part of the machine
that joins the front of the running
board was also badly broken. When
Mr.. Pearce crashed into the concrete
sluiceway he removed nearly all OF
that part above ground. 1t is for
tunate that he was not killed, as the
machine is evidence that he was
travelling "some."
