FIVE ARE HURT.
Duluth Party Injured When Machine
Rolls Down Steep Embank-

ment.
Duluth-Murdock Mcdonald and his
i3-year-old son, Byron, both of Vir-
ginia, were quite seriously injured
when a large touring car, in which
they were riding, ran off the boulevard
drive at Ninth avenue east and rolled
down the steep embankment, turning
over twice. Two women, Miss Clements
Smith and Mrs. Alice Pryor of Evel-
eth, sisters of Mr.. Mcdonald. who
occupied the rear seats, escaped with
bit few scratches.
The injured man and his son were
rushed to st. Luke's hospital. The
father's/hip is injured and the son is
suffering from a strained back. Mar
tin Brady, boy who was sitting on a
rock near the road when the big car
left the drive, was struck by it and
knocked down the hill. He was taken
90 St. Mary's hospital, but was allowed
to leave, his injuries not being con-
sidered serious.
According to the Mcdonald boy, his
father was driving slowly along the
boulevard, when near Ninth avenue
east, they met team approaching.
"My father turned to the right and
the driver of the team turned the
same way" said the boy. Then ia
Their turned to the left and the driver
did the same. Then. as We ran into
the team. father pulled to the outer
side of the road. As he did so our car
left the driveway and tipped down the
hill"

circumstances, and when he was

these statements for publication
Tinker repeated them to Murphy's
face.
But Evers' situation was different
