companied by serious if not fatal re-
suits, but luck was with the occupants

that anyone was injured.
The accident occurred near the cor
ner where the road which goes from
Western avenue around Resan hill and
after making the Circuit Of the hill
ner Sunday was icy and slipper, and
as Dodge Bros. automobile owned
by Charles Pitcher of Gardiner and
occupied by him. another gentleman
lady and a child made the turn, so
it is said, at lively rate of speed, the
car overturned throwing the occupants
out. but luckily not injuring any Of
them
just what caused the car to turn
over on its side was not learned, but
some of those who saw the accident
are convinced that the driver lost con-
troll of it just before it turned over
One Of the forward wheels was
smashed and the forward axle was
bent and it is said that there were
other minor injuries to the car. One
party who Witnessed the smashup
states that he is of the belief that
there were two blow-outs of the rear
tires just before the car turned over.
After It was found that none of his
party were injured Mr.. Pitcher Sc

one wrecked and was able TO continue
his journey home.
