WOMEN INJURED
WHEN CAR SKIDS

In an automobile accident on the
Liberty pike, four miles north of Lib
erty, yesterday afternoon two women
were slightly injured, Mrs. Roberta
Allen, Cincinnati, and Mrs. w. R.
Poundstone, Richmond. The driver of
the car, Mrs. Joseph Conner, this city,
escaped without any injuries, as did
the fourth occupant of the car, the
young son of Mrs. Allen.
Nearing a bridge the car skidded
and dashed up steep slope at the
side of the road throwing out Mrs. Al
len, her son and Mrs. Poundstone. The
machine then plunged down an en-
bankment and collided with tele-
phone pole after going under the
bridge. After the car entered the
stream Mrs. Conner jumped.
Mrs. Allen suffered a dislocation of
her left shoulder. Mrs. Poundston9
had her left arm sprained. The ma
chine was considerably damaged, but
was brought back to Richmond under
its own power.
