MACHINE TURNS TURTLE.

While travelling at possibly a too
rapid gate over the Boone Highway
last Sunday aftesuoon and turning a
sharp curve, the machiue driven by
Mr.. Tate and accompanied by Mrs
Tate and two children. turned turtle
and came near resulting fatally to
some of the occupants who escaped by
the narrowest margin. All four
occupants We're pinned underneath the
car and but for prompt assistance from
others passing the result would have
been serious. The car was partially
wrecked and the family was taken to
the home Of W. II. Brown where they
received medical care. 1t was soon
seen that none of them were seriously
injured. Mr.. Tate many years ago
was a resident of this county and is
well remembered by many friends in
his old Garrard home.
