What might have been a fatal acct
dent occurred in Green Township near
the Hager farm yesterday when Alex
Karr and young son suffered a broken
steering gear on the automobile which
turned completely over. The boy es-
capped without any apparent injury
but Mr.. Karr received several bruises
including a beautiful black eye, which
he insists he received in the spill, and
today his wrists are badly swollen
and show the result of a sprain.
They were on their way to the l..
X. Shilling neighborhood where the
older man was to address Farmers
Club, notwithstanding the trouble he
managed to fill his engagements and
those who were present say that he
made the most brilliant speech they
ever listened to, and that eleven new
names were adde to the reaing course
during the afternoon. Today Mr..
Karr is confined to the house and it
may be several days before he will be
around. The excitment of the after
noon kept him up but today he fully
realizes what an automobile can do
to fellow when it has him down on
the frozen ground. ......
Where the machine left the road it
was comparatively smooth and it Is
that the steering gear broke
letting the machine take to the ditch,
where it rolled once completely over
and was left resting on its side. When
Mr.. Karr came to his snses the steer.
ing wheel was over his head. A
word was sent to the Shilling farm and
a machine came for them and took
them to the meeting and returned to
Valley City with the victims Of the
accident last night. One Of the Pc
culiar features of the wreck was that
the engine wa found running half
hour after having turned completely
over.
Various troubles seem to have per-
sued the manager of the Chautau-
qua since the Chautauqua meeting,
sickness, death in the family and now
this accident. However, fate even has
been baked as the pledges since the
close of the lat session amount to over
$4,000 and Mr.. Karr has been heard
to state that it is no longer question
of how much money can be raised but
as to how much money the associa-
ton wants.
In his work Mr.. Karr has stated that
as far out as thirty miles the people
are Just as much enthused as nearer
to Valley City and and are responding
