Lean in a sharp voice said ssturn to
the left" A quick turn and the auto
plunged over the ledge.
A Bad Place.
That the accident happened in bad
place, on a highway which had been
ased for years, is certain. The sp-
preaching danger Is not visible and
even in broad daylight autoists have
come very near the same fate. With
such plunge Mr.. MeLean's slight in
,ur;es can bo imagined, since h, was
on the running board but how Mr..
Doyon escaped is miracle.
Many Stories.
Many stories far from the truth
have been told about the accident, but
as near as the World representative
can learn, the entire details Of the
frightful affair were much the same
as recorded here, and while the affair
is sad, it shows conclusively that there
was no negligence on the part Of the
autoists, but on the other hand every
precaution was taken and the car was
piloted safely to the gate OF the city,
the destination of the party when the
tragic accident happened.
All Are Prominent Men.
All the men are prominent. George
Chambers who has written thirty, and
had just finished getting out his last
edition of the Chlurchs Ferry Sun, is
a pioneer Of Ramsey county and was
well liked by all. Charles Rebillard
is associated with Mr.. Doyon at Doy-
on, N. D., and is proprietor Of the
mercantile company there. Mr.. Doyon
is one Of the most popular men Of the
state, and Mr.. Mclean, sheriff Of
Ramsey county and has always been
held in the highest esteem. That all
were not killed is blessing, and
lwhile the injuries sustained were not
Jas serious as reported still it will take
|years for those in the wreck to recover
from the shock.
