Speeding Autos
Ruined In Crash

On Friday noon two large
machines, 3 Mitchell SIX driven
by E nan from Elgin. \. D. and
a Haynes SIX driven by DR..

together OF TIE Fair Grounds

that re was travelling at high
rate Of speed on the wrong side
Of tie road. SrraDg was COM
ing out Of the Fair Grounds gate
and when he saw that the mach
ire was on the wrong side OF the
roa3, he also turned out the
wrong way. When only short
distance apart the Mitchell driv-
er sE1ng his machine across the
road and since h was travelling
a. slch q nigh rate OF speed it
was impossible for Strang to get
his machine clear. The result
was that the machines locked
wheels. the front wheels o. the
Mitchell locking with the rear
wheel Of the Haynes. The i'm
pact threw both machines about
fifteen feet and the wheels that
locked were torn from the mach
ines. One Of the freaks Of the
accident was the fact that the
rear wheel Of the Haynes was
changed TO the axle of the Nit
chell and the Mitchell wheel was
not hurt q particle. the axle
having broken squarely off and
not even q spoke in the wheel
was cracked.
| The Mitchell although quite
considerably battered was not
nearly as badly damaged as the
Haynes. The force Of the i'm
pact broke the driving rod of the
latter machine and when it snap
ped it shot the engine forward
with the result that the trans
mission case was broken and the
engine thrown forward about
three inches. 1t is very doubt
full if the machine can be re-
paired without being sent to the
factory.

Injured beyond a few scratches
and bruises. c. c. Larsh, who
was in the Doctors machine,
was thrown through the wind
lshield and his face received sew
leral scratches but otherwise he
was uninjured. Strang walked
with limp for a few days and
one of the passenger in the
Mitchell had his nose broken,
but otherwise not a person was
hurt.

present parsonage and use it for the
purposes for which the church addi-
tion was intended.
The property at No. 507 Washington
street has been purchased from Mrs.
Mary d. Malone, widow of William
Malone. and has been in the Malone
family for many years. IL is slightly
larger than the present Union par
sonage, but otherwise almost exactly
like It. Il has a frontage of A
feet and the lot has a depth of $50
feet. DR.. Corkran will move into
the new property as soon as Mrs. Ma
lone vacates, which will be about
the middle of August.
Plans and specifications will be
prepared for the changes to be made
to the present parsonage. II is in
tended to have the basement fitted
up for the Boy Scouts of the church.
The first floor will be, arranged for
the use of thei Sunday school. There
will be an audience room on the sec
ond floor. The total expense Of the
purchase Of the property and the
changes to be made in the parsonage
may reach $4,000
