Daniel Biddick formerly of this place
had narrow escape from death in an
auto accident at Coleraine. Mimi. \
companion, Phil Gothier was with him
and the machine was driven by Biddick
when the gear coupling the front wheels
gave way. The machine made almost a
square turn and turned over three
times in its descent.
At the bottom Biddick was still with
the car and Gothier on hands and knees
was trying to escape from being run
over by the machine.
Biddick was at one time pinoned
under the car and sustained few
painful bruises, but no bones We're
broken. The car is wreck, it being
stripped completely. AS the outfit left
the road it barely missed striking a
two foot pine stump. Had the car
veered to the right instead of the left,
it would have plunged into the lake
with small doubt Of different results.
