ALL OCCUPANTS OF CAR
PAINFULLY INJURED
When 1t Turned Turtle on State Road
Last Saturday Afternoon.

Garrett county, thus far during the
present automobile season, has had
more wrecks and serious accidents
than ever before in its history, caused,
no doubt. by the congested condition of
the main artery of travel. the State
road leading north from Oakland.
toward which every owner of an auto
mobile turns owing to its excellent
qualities for travel. During the past
two weeks number of accidents have
occurred with more or less serious
consequences.
On Saturday afternoon last at point
on the road near the residence of Justice
Fraker, some ten miles north of Oak
land, Ford car owned and driven by
James Rush, son of Mr.. Clark Rush, a
prominent farmer of near Accident,
struck a large pile of screenings which
had been placed alongside the road for
repair purposes and before the driver
could regain control of the machine it
had turned turtle, throwing the oc-
cupants, who were Misses Margaret
Friend and Mary Carr, Bliss Friend and
James Rush, clear of the car and in
juring all of them more or less severely.
The young people were brought to
town in another automobile and taken
the Office of DR.. Broadwater where their
injuries were dressed.
Miss Friend sustained a number of
bruises and had her collar bone broken,
while her brother Bliss suffered many
cuts about his face, some of them be-
ing very deep and painful. Both are
children of former County Commissioner
Asa B. Friend, who resides near Hoyes.
Miss Carr. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
W. A. Carr. of McHenry. had her
hand split for an inch or more, while
Mr.. Rush suffered a slight conclusion
of the brain and was also badly cut
about his face and suffered a number
of bruises. After the physician work
had been completed all of the injured
were sent to their homes with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Rush, who was taken to
the Home Sanatorium. but on Tuesday
he was removed from the institution and
taken to his home by his father, his
condition having greatly improved.
The automobile was almost complete
ly wrecked and was taken to Accident
for repairs.
