A serious automobile accident was
prevented on Thursday night of last
week by the presence of mind of one of
three occupants of a car driven by a
mao who, it is reported, was under the
~ipfiuence of liquor. The information is
given that Messrs. Turner and Shaw
with a Chauffeur by the name of Creery
at the wheel, were driving at a good
speed down Pacific avenue, when at
the corner of Spicer the car swerved,
the rear wheel passing over the curb
and grazing a telegraph pole. MI.
Shaw instructed Creery to stop the car,
as he noticed that he (Creery) was not
in a condition to run same, and wanted
another driver. Shaw left the car and
started for Young's garage. The car
at this time stood across the trolley
tracks with the motor stalled. Mr..
Turner then got out and attempted to
crank the car and Creery to start it,
but both were unsuccessful. Trolleys
were held up coming north. Wilbur
Craig seeing their trouble attempted to
assist. Officer Pinker happening along
told Creepy not to run the car, but Tur-
ner ordered him to go on. This started
a heated argument Officer Pinker
then arrested Turner, who offered re-
sistance, but nc blows were struck.
Turner was finally locked up at city
hall. Craig was instructed to drive the
auto with Creery to city hall, where
the latter was locked up. Shaw, in the
meantime, succeeded in getting a
competent driver and had instructed
him to bring the car to the garage, but
arrived too late to avoid the trouble.
1t was observed that Turner was under
the influence of liquor but to Shaw's
sober condition and thoughtfulness is
due the fact that nothing more serious
happened. Messrs. Turner and Creery
were given a hearing Friday morning
before MayorSmlth and fined$ 81. 5Oeach.
