Five miles to the northeast of this
city Thursday evening new car
owned by r. H. Cotter of Merrill,
turned turtle. The party was motor
ing towards this city, it is said at
speed not exceeding twelve or fifteen
miles an hour, when another car APP
preached, the lights of which were
not dimmed The effect of the glaring
| headlights either blinded the driver
or caused nervousness. At this place
in the road there was ditch about
four feet deep, the wheels of one side
of the car getting in there, causing
| the automobile to turn over. The car
was but slightly damaged, which was
| remarkable, and more wonderful is
| the fact that all the occupants es-
| capped with but minor bruises, several
without a scratch.
