FAIRMoNT, Oct. 6-Despite the
fact that their machine turned a
complete somersault, lighting again
upon its wheels, which were mashed
to the ankles, none OF the four oc=
cupants, one of which was woman,
was injured in an accident which oc-
Cured at Harrington at an early
hour Sunday morning.
w. B. Allen and Ray Hawkins, OF
Youngstown, o., came to Clarksburg
on a tour Of inspection Of this sec
ton. Saturday night, in company with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lambert, of Clarks-
burg, they started for Fairview to
visit relatives. AT Barracksville the
wrong road was followed and it led
them to Harrington.
Alien and Hawkins were on the
front seat with Mr.. and Mrs. Lam
bert in the rear. A heavy fog was
on and the road, made OF cinders,
was black. Near Pennington the
machine swerved from the road and
pitched over a thirty-foot embank-
ment. 1t turned completely over
and all were thrown out and bruised.
None was SO badly hurt as to need
the services of a physician.
The party was taken to the home
of the mine superintendent at
Jamison No. s, where the members
spent the night. Sunday Messrs.
Hawkins and Allen proceeded on to
