An Auto Accident.

Messrs. Harry Wright and Orel
estes, of Leon, drove over to Line
Vile on Wednesday of last week in
an auto and started for home about
nine o'clock that evening, accom-
panied by Mrs. Nellie Beach, aunt OF
Mr.. Estes. Just after crossing the
bridge west of the fair grounds,
Wright, who was driving the. car, at
tempted to slip on his coat, endeavor-
ing at the same time to keep one
involuntary movement of the wheel,
however, turned the car sharply to
one side and landed bottom side up
ward in the ditch at the side of the
road with the three occupants under
the car. Mrs. Beach luckily escaped
serious injury and was the first to
crawl from under the car, and being
unable to obtain a response from
either of the men she supposed that
both had been KILLED and ran back
up the road screaming for help.
Near the top of the hill she met three
men in buggy, two of which got out
and the other took her in and drove
rapidly back toward town in quest of
assistance. Wick Lovett and Edgar
Phillips were the first to respond
and they hurried with all speed to
the scene of the accident. Arriving
there they found Estes had gotten
out from under the car and proved
to have suffered only slight injury
but Wright was pinned down with
the side of the car resting in the
middle of his body. Rails were used
for levers, the heavy car pried up
and he was pulled from under it. DR..
Lovett who arrived on the scene in
his car, found that neither the men
or the car were seriously injured.
Wright suffered severe bruises
about the body and three ribs were
slightly fractured, but both men
left for Leon in their car which was
only slightly damaged-Lineville
