An auto load of young people from
Brookings had a very narrow escape
from a bad accident while coming
home from Lake lakewood last Sat

by Rufus Ames, Jr., and he was racing
with a car driven by Lester Callahan,
the race starting the other side of
Bruce and continuing through that
village until a short distance south OF
the town where the Ames a met
with disaster. The two machines
were travelling along side by side at a
good rate Of speed when they came to
a small bridge and young Ames see
ing that they could not both 1t
steered his car to the side. There
was a deep ditch about six feet wide
across the roadway running under the
bridge, but Ames did not notice this
until he was right up to it, so he kept
going. The machine jumped clear
across, but on striking the other side
the wheels turned and were bent
under. The car Is a heavy one which
Is all that prevented it turning over
and probably killing some of the pas
sengers. The damage to the machine
was not great and the young people
escaped with a few slight bruises
Monday morning the marshal at Bruce
came down and arrested the drivers
of the two cars for racing through the
streets of the village and they We're
assessed five dollars and costs each
for their fun.
