AUTO AND BUGGY COLLIDE.

Another automobile accident
occurred on the road between
here and HoiSingtOn Sunday
evening and as a result a horse be-
longing to Mike Daley was so
badly injured that it had to be
lilled and the auto was smashed
up in pretty bad shape, and it was
extremely fortunate that none
OF the occupants of either We
hicle were injured.
Riley Garrett and Joe McCabe.
both employees of the Great Bend
Water and Electric Co., were re-
turning from Hoisinglon where
they had been doing some repair
work, and on The road north OF
town met Billie Vincent, Stanley
Duling and Ralph White, in Char
ley Gleadalls autOmobiIe, who
were returning to that city after
bringing Mr.. Gleadall and Waller
Disney to this place.
The accident occurred shortly
after dark and the lights on the
auto were not working good, and
it is said that one of them was
entirely out. Garrett noticed the
one light coming down the road
and told McCabe that there was
a motorcycle coming, and a mo-
ment afterwards the collision oc-
CURED. The boys from the light
and water plant had met another
car just before the GlcadaIl ma
chine came along and we're still
turned out to their side of the
road. but as the boys in the auto
were working with their lights
while travelling, they probably
failed to keep the car TO their
side of the road or look closely
where they were going, and the
machine struck the horse on the
left side and injured il 50 badly
that it was shortly afterwards
killed. The radiator, tenders and
front axle Of the car were badly
twisted and the machine put out
of commission, and it is likely
that the boys were driving slow
ly else someone would probably
have been killed.
Young Vincent was driving the
car at the time, and his father
has recognized that the boys were
at least partly to blame, for he
has made satisfactory settlement
with Mr.. Daley for the loss of
the horse.
