HURLED FROM One
AUTO TO ANOTHER
Collision Throws Occupant from
Back Seat of Ford into
Rear Seat of REQ

When little autom obile collides
with large automobile, it is much
s'fer to be in the big car. But it is
dangerous to try to get from the lit
tie car to the big car at the time of
the collision is the explanation Ole
Christianson makes for his bandaged
nose which was injured last Saturday
at 6 P. M. when the Ford car driven
by Will Richards collided with a REQ
car driven bv F. J. Kerwin and
Christianson was hurled from the back
seat of the Ford to the back seat of
REQ car. Christianson cut his face
and hurt his nose from blowing his
way through the curtains of two cars.
No one else was hurt. The smaller
car was badly smashed.
The accident occurred when Mr..
Kerwin who was driving on the right
hand side of the highway mile ana a
half from Morris turned aross the road
to go into his farm. He did not know
that the auto driven by Mr.. Richards
was close behind on the left hand side.
Richards was unable to stop his car
and smashed into the side of the car
driven by Kerwin. Kerwin's car was
only slightly damaged. Mr.. Kerwin
brought Richards and Christianson
back to Morris in his car. Christian
son was treated by DR.. A. Leuty.

ing the buggy and upsetting Mrs.

before Mrs. Eystad was seriously
hurt.
