south OF Ainsworth on Saturday after
noon IN which accident several of the
party were quite seriously injured. The
accident was caused by the common
cause OF burning up the road. the driver
being unable to slow up at the corner.
Considering the speed Of the car at the
time of the accident and the fact that it
completely turned turtle it was almost
miracle that some of the party were
not killed.
They all evaded the publicity OF the
accident and the injured members were
taken In another autmObile and hustled

about disclosing their names and no in
formation as to the identity of the
parties could be learned.
