very serious automobile accident
resulted Friday afternoon from the
breaking Of the rear axle OF a Ford
car driven by Miss Ruth Ida LeaV-
lit. The car turned completely over
at the top of Gage street hill, all four
occupants were caught beneath 1t, and
Miss Althea Heath of 16 Gage street
received injuries which are threaten
ing the most unhappy result. The
conclusion of the brain on the left
side of her head is the most serious
of her injuries. though in addition to
this she is suffering from very bad
abrasion above the left elbow and
bad sprain Of the left foot.
The other three in the car, Miss
Leavitt and Mr.. and Mrs John F.
M orris of is Gage street, escaped with
comparatively simple injuries, but
Mrs. Morris sustained sprains of the
left leg and right ankle and a lacera-
ton of the left leg below the knee,
while Miss Leayitt has painful bruises
and was badly shaken up by the fall.
MIR. Morris was uninjured when he got
to his feet, due to the fact that he
had succeeded in getting partly Tree
from the car when it turned turtle.
The party of four drove to the top
of Gage street hill when the alarm
of fire was sounded for the blaze at
the Eaton shoe factory. The automo-
bile was driven into a dooryard at the
top of the hill a few steps from the
junction Of Gage and Swan streets on
the west side of Gage Returning from
the fire, Mr.. and Mrs. Morris seated
themselves in the tonneau and Miss
Leavitt and Miss Heath took the
front seats. Miss Heath and Mrs. Nor
ris sat on the right hand side Of the
car Miss Leavittr and Mr.. Morris on
the left. Miss Leavitt at the wheel.
Emergency Brake Stuck
The car was started backward into
Gage street and Miss Leavitt intended
to back a few feet only, SO that she
could turn the car up the hill and
drive back to the home at number Is.
When she attempted to start the car
ahead, however, 1t only continued to
move backwards; she applied the ped
al brake but this did not stay the
progress Of the machine and the
emergency brake stuck and she could
not draw the lever back. Moving
slowly the car continued a few feet,
hardly moro than the width Of the
