AUTO TURNED TURTLE
6. A. LONGS Auto Turned Over with
Seven Passengers. Mr.. Long
was the Only One Injured.

What came near being a fatal auto
accident, occurred at the foot OF the
Negley hill, about two and half
miles sou Invest of Decatur City, Sun
day when G. A. Longs Ford touring
car with seven passengers in it turn
ed turtle after striking a ditch at the
turn and all were caught under the
overturned car, but none were SER
iously injured except Mr.. Long, who
had three ribs broken.
Mr.. and Mrs. Long and their little
son, and Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. F. S.
Gardner and two children, had start
ed for kellerton to spend the day
with Mr.. and Mrs. Glib Turner. Go
ing down the Negley hill, which has
a sharp turn at the bottom, Mr..
Long had his car we'll under control,
Mr.. Gardner noticing the speedome-
ter just second before the accident
and it showed that they were only
travelling between eight and ten
miles an hour. In order to be safe
Mr.. Long made quite wide turn
at the bottom and a ditch about two
or three feet deep was concealed
from view by big weeds. The two
side wheels dropped into the ditch
and in a second the car turned turtle
with all of the occupants under it.
Fortunately they had the top up and
this broke the force of the fall, and
one Of the wheels struck against a
small crab apple bush which partial
ly held one side of the car up. Mr..
Long was caught under the steering
wheel and three strands of the barb
ed wire fence was holding his head
down so that he could not move,
the barbs going through his stiff hat
and just touching the skin, but as
the car was gradually settling down
he was mighty anxious to be releas-
ed. All this time the car was ups
side down, the engine running and
the wheels turning, but he finally
got his foot on the brake and stop
ped the engine, and lne Others were
able to raise the car enough to re-
lease him after they had. crawled
out. Mr.. Gardner was considerably
bruised and scratched up and his
children, were slightly bruised, but
neither Mrs Long. or Mrs. Gardner or
Mr.. Longs little boy were even
scratched. "
They went back to Negley's and
phoned to Harry Wright to come out
and get them and to tell Mr. Turner
at KeI1erton that they would not be
over to dinner. Harry. was at the
scene in a few minutes. but befo.Ty
they got the car righted and ready
to start to Leon, Glib Turner was
there from Kellerton in his car and
insisted on taking the party on to
Kellerton while Mr.. Wright brought
the Long car back to Leon to be re-
paired. Several holes were punched
in the top, the wind shield broken
and one wheel had some broken
spokes, but it will be easily repair
ed.
1t was only a couple Of weeks ago
that Granville had a rib broken
while working with his car, a
wrench slipping and striking his
rib,s and now he is nursing four
broken ribs, in front and behind. and
he is pretty sore man, but will be
out in a day. or two for he has no
accident insurance, but, will prob
ably load UP with insurance before
starting out in his car again:

Flanagan time of it the past ten days

couple Of days, then put it on again
ana now it is off again with both

there is great rejoicing among the

KILLED IN A RUNAWAY
Wife of Rev. Fisher, Of BeaConstield
Thrown from a BUGGY and Fa-
tally Injured last Saturday.

Mrs. Eva Fisher, wife of Rev.
Fisher, United Brethren minister,
pastor of the charges at BeacOnsteld
and Round Knoll, was killed in
runaway last Saturday morning. Rev.
Fisher and wife had borrowed a
pony from James Mote and driven to
Van Vert on Friday, where they
visited over night at the home OF,
Isaac McMurtry. Saturday morning
they started to drive to Round
Knoll to visit their son, and when
near the Mote home about 2% miles
northwest of Van Vert, they met
Ben Elston in his auto. The pony
was one which was driven by Mrs.
Mote and was not usually afraid of
autos, but when it saw Mr.. Elston's
car coming it commenced to run up
the hill and met the auto at cor
ner. Mr.. Elston was not driving fast
and when he saw that the pony was
frightened at his approach stopped
his car, before the pony Whirled
around in the road and started down
the hill. Just as the pony whirled
around Rev. Fisher was thrown out
of the buggy and his clothing caught
on the buggy and he was dragged
several rods, being considerably
bruised up. A short distance farth-
er Mrs. Fisher either tried to jump
out of the buggy or was thrown out,
and struck with great force on the
ground, and was unconscious when
Mr.. Elston and Rev. Fisher reached
her. Mr.. Elston placed the injured
woman and her husband in his car
and took them back to the home of
Mr.. McMurtry, and a physician was
summoned, who rendered every as
sistance, but the lady died about
four hours after the accident, never
fully regaining consciousness. The
physician stated that her death was
caused from blood clot on the
brain, caused by striking her head
against some hard substance.
Mrs. Fisher was IS years of age.
Her body was taken by her husband
to their former home at Woodland,
Michigan, Monday morning for in
terment.
Mr.. Elston whose car caused the
pony to become frightened is
careful driver and had his car under
good control, having stopped his car
before the pony turned around in
the road, and no censure can be
placed against him for the sad acci-,
dent.
