Sentinel Butte Republican: L. F.
Crawford probably escaped death by a
narrow margin on May 9Th when he was
driving with his automobile out south
west of town. He turned in at a gate,
running at about 8 or 10 miles an hour,
and did not notice a galvanized wire
across it. The wire struck the wind
shield, breaking the glass to fragments,
and jumped from there to Mr.. Craw-
ford's face striking him squarely on the
chin and cutting a deep cash. Had the
wire struck a couple of inches lower it
would doubtless have broken his neck.
An idea of the force of the impact may
be gathered from the fact that one of
the heavy gate posts was broken COM
pletely off. The only damage done to
the machine was the breaking of the
wind-shield-and the injuries to the
driver will not be serious or permanent,
but they are painful.
