FOCAL IN ACCIDENT

While changing positions at the steering wheel with his young son. Frank Fogal figured in a serious ac- cident just north of the bridge on the state highway yesterday morning, when his car swerved off the road and turned turtle down an embank- ment. Fogal left town about s o'clock for Phoenix, where he had some cattle to load, and was at the wheel. Just across the bridge the boy asked to drive and without com ing to a complete stop, the change at the wheel was undertaken. The car was not travelling ten miles an hour. but once off the grade it com menced skidding and turned over once completely before it came to- stop. In the turn the top was broken and just for the second that the weight of the machine rested on Fogal two ribs were broken and some painful bruises sustained. The boy escaped uninjured and a passing car was i'm mediately hailed and the injured man brought to town, where medical aid was secured. Fogal was resting easy lpe,
