Aledo Man, Unable to Keep
Road, Collides With Rock
Island Car at Sears.

F. ]. Mueller, business manager or
The Argus, with Mrs. Mueller and
their infant daughter, had narrow
escape from death or injury at 9
o'clock last evening, when the road
ster in which they were riding was
struck by a seven-passenger car on
the Watch Tower road at Sears.
Mr.. Mueller and family had been a.
the Tower during the evening, and
were returning to the city, when Mr.
Mueller noticed the headlights of an
auto several blocks away, The ap-
preaching car was zig-zaging from one
side OF the road to the other. Mr.. Muel.
Ter surmised that something was
wrong with the driver of the approach
ing car, so he ran his auto into the
ditch at the extreme right of the road.
The road was not large enough for the
other driver, however. and his car
sideswiped the roadster. tearing off
the fender. The larger car suffered
the more damage, the radiator being
smashed and the left front wheel torn
off.
Luckily no one was injured In the
CIdsh- Inc driver Oh the large car
gave his name as w. VI. Miner OF
Aledo. He said that he operated an
auto livery in Aledo and had taken a
party to Rock Island. Aledo is a dry
town. and Miner evidently had avail
ed himself here OF certain privileges
not to be had at home.
MINERS car was put completely out
OF commission, and he asked Mr.. Muel.
Ter TO take him into town, which the
latter did.
