AUTO TIP-OVER
MIR. AND MRS. T.. BAKER OF HUR-
ON MEET WITH ACCIDENT.

Mr.. and Mrs. T.. Baker of Huron
were injured and badly shaken up in
an automobile accident Thursday
afternoon in front of C. r. Nichols
farm residence near the west city
limits. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker are an
elderly couple and were automobile
driving in this portion of the state
for pastime. Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols
were in their garden when Mr.. and
Mrs. Baker with their automobile
came into view and no sooner had
they noticed them than they heard a
crash and saw their automobile turn
over Hurrying to their assistance
they found Mr.. Baker standing in the
road in a dazed condition and Mrs.
Baker lying under the automobile
unconscious. She was carried into
the house and a physician summoned,
but she remained unconscious several
hours. No bones were broken, but
both Mr.. and Mrs. Baker were bruis-
ed and badly shaken up. Mr.. Baker
could give no explanation of how the
accident occurred. He was driving
the car, a Ford, leisurely, no more

when suddenly and unaccountably ii
turned a complete somersault, crush
ing the top and righting itself. How
they were thrown out of the car Mr.,
Baker is unable to explain. When
found by Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols Mrs.
Baker was lying in the road between
the real wheels of the automobile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker preferred to re-
main at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nichols rather than be taken to the
hospital as suggested by the physi-
elan. and prolonged their stay until
this morning when they were brought
to the depot in Mr.. Nichols automo-
bile and departed for Sioux Falls.
Mrs. Baker is apparently most seri-
ously injured, her injuries having
produced facial paralysis and her
general shaking up makes it difficult
for her to walk-with the careful as
sistance of her husband. In the ex-
element Mrs. Bakers hat which had
fallen off was left in the road and
disappeared and whoever picked it up
is requested to return it to Mr.. Mich

badly injured that he died a few
hours later when a tractor and ten
der crashed through a metal culvert

nady, who stood IN the platform be-
side him, were crushed between the
tender and the engine. The Canady
boy, who was riding on the tender,
had his neck broken in the crash.

of the tractor, was in al auto about
thirty rods ahead of the machine
when the bridge gave way. He i'm

ENGINE EXPLODES
Farm Hand Near Salem Badly In
jured.

Salem, Oct. 11.-Charles Chandler,
whose home is at Elmwood, Neb.,
sustained a broken leg and other in
juries and had a narrow escape from
death when the steam engine of a
threshing outfit exploded on the
farm of Charles Clark, near here.
Two bones in n of his hands also
were broken. In addition he was bad
ly burned and bruised. When the
engine exploded it threw fire from
both ends, and the force of the ex-
plosion was sufficient to hurl the en-
CINE backward a distance of about
seventy-five feet. The flames spread
to four stacks of grain standing
nearby and all the stacks were con-
sumed. Chandler was engineer of
the threshing outfit.
