3 ARE INJURED
IN AUTO WRECK
Car Of <. A. Lembcke Crash
es Into Fence.

Three young men of this city were
slightly cut and bruised and expe-
rienced a narrow escape from far
more serious injury when a Flanders
roadster automobile owned by Ed
ward A. Lembcke, plunged into a
heavy rail fence on the ives erly side
of Amboy avenu just north of AL
pine cemetery about 10 o'clock last
night. The machine left the road
suddenly and unawares to the occu-
pants until 1t had collided forcibly
with a fence.
Mr.. Lembcke was thrown out and
cut and bruised about the left side.
James Layden, a chauffeur, who was
driving the machine, was thrown
against the steering wheel and was
bruised. C. M. Wagner was forced
partially through the wind shield and
sustained a cut ON the head and
slight bruises on the right side.
1t is the opinion of the riders that
a part of he steering apparatus
gave way. The machine was going
within the limit of speed prescribed
by law, Otherwise the accident might
have been more disastrous. AS 1t
was being driven towards this city
from Woodbridge, 1t left the center
of the macadamized road suddenly
and beyond control of the driver.
The right side of the front of the
machine rammed the fence ard
caused the rear to swing around and
fetch up against the obstruction, the
latter saving it from turning turtle.
A relief crew was sent out from
Van SycKle's garage and after tenn
porary repairs had been made the
damaged car was hauled to this city.
Make Music From Rocks.
One of the most interesting mus1-
cal events ever given in this city will
be the concert by the Rock Band
Concert Company in the First Bap-
fist church tomorrow night. This is
known as the only rock band in the
world and Is so called because tunes
are played On pieces of rock. There
are other special features that will
make the evening an altogether en-
joyable one
