Party IL Auto Wreck.

Mrs. Margaret NJ. Dick aud Mr.. Rob-
ert Williams were injured when a big
Cole car. belonging to j. j Williams
and driven by Bob Williams, ran into
an embankment Oh the Pocallo road
and was overturned with party OF SIX
persons in it.
Those in the car were Mrs. Margaret
Dick, Miss Ella McFadden. Mrs. B T..

ers Witherspoon and Robert Williams.

youug Williams were the only two to
receive injuries. Mrs Dick received 4
number Of bruises and her back was
wrenched. She Is now at the residence

was broken, the front part part OF the
car, where it struck the emhankmenr.
was bent or broken and the top was
badly damaged. It was due TO the top
that the party was probably saved from
more serious injury, as this prevented
the car from turning over further than
it did. The car Was brought in Monday
morning and placed in the garage to
be r. r-paired.
The wreck occurred near the bottom
of the long hill just on this side OF Po-
Gala, near the railroad track. AS the
machine came to the turn in the road
instead OF turning to the left MIR. Will
liams turned it to the right. The ma
chine was going at a low ra:e OF speed
and this probably saved the lives OF the
party When the driver saw be had
turned the Car the wrong direction, it
is thought that he lost his head he was
unable to right it and it went head on
into The high embankment. The car
stood still a second and then fell back,
turning over on its side in the road.
Those 10 the car on the right side were
the ones injured.
This road is much used on Sunday
afternoons BY persons taking rides TO

minutes after the accident occurred that
automobiles belonging TO MIR. VI. 81.
