AUTO OvERTURNS
AND ONE MAN IS
SERIOUSLY HURT
E. 0. Williams Has Fractured
Shoulder When DOSS SWearingen
Car Meets With Accident Sunday.
ON WAY ROME FROM BINGHAM
OIher Occupants Escape; Accident
Caused by Bad Condition Of Road;
Other Cars Making the Trip Yes.
terday Have Difficulty In Return.
ing: Accidents Averted.

F.. o. Williams, salesman at the
fractured shoulder last evening when
the Doss Swearingen automobile turn
ed over in making the trip home from
Bingham Springs. The other occu-
pants of the car, including Mr. Will
liams' baby, which was sitting on his
lap, escaped miraculously without i'm
jury.
The accident was due to the condi-
tion of the road which had been made
very slick by the heavy rain of the
afternoon. II happened at the hair
pin curve between Thorn Hollow and
Cayuse As the car rounded the
sharp curve, il skidded. Mr.. Swear
ingen turned it into the bank but one
wheel struck a rock in such a way
as to throw the car over the grade.
1t turned ever, pinionng the six oc-
cgpants, Mr. and Mrs Swearingen
and daughter, Miss Daphne Swearin-
gen. and Mr. and Mrs. Williams and
baby beneath.
Soon other cars arrived and assisted
the party With the exception of Mr..
Williams who was in the front seat
with the diver. all escaped with only
a few minor bruises. The baby was
not scratched though the wind shield
just in front of it was shattered in
fragments The damage to the car

bent tenders and a broken top, The
fact that the top was up probably saw
ed the occupants, The car was got
ten back into the road and came in
under its own power
other Accidents, Too.
The road from the springs was a
very dangerous one after the rain.
Hard underneath and covered with
muck as slick as greast, even chains
would not prevent cars from skidding
and many accidents were narrowly
averted An Athena car went off the
grade on the high hill between Cayuse
and Thorn Hollow. and but for some
bushes, would have slid into the riv-
err c. S. Cheshire happened along
and pulled the car back.
Almost fifty per cent of the cars
coming back were stuck at one point
or another and the autoists became
body of mutual helpers. As one
car stuck others gave aid and in this
way the slow way back to town was
made.
Report on the streets this morning
was that a big Winton had gone in
the ditch Investigation, however
proved that the rumor originated from
the experience of the Mumm car near
Athena 1t slid off grade and had
to be pulled out but no damage was
done.

Quiet Enjoyment.

One Of the arts of life is to be able
to sit still and to enjoy. To the hur-
ried people it is an art almost I'M
known. The reason is that their hur'
rying keeps the springs Of being trou-
bled. Even in those moments when
they are forced to be still they feel
hurried. The truth is that hurry has
become part of their nature. They
sometimes reach the state where 1t
seems impossible for them ever to
know peace. The only peace they can
achieve is kind of selfzforgetfulness
In hurry. The mure hurried they are
the greater their illusion Of freedom.
Their hurry is like drinking or taking
q drug.

MONOPOLY Always Feared.

Probably the word grocer origin
ally meant lone who sells by the
great, or utters his commodities by
Wholesale" and they trace it to the
French word "grossier." An act en-
titled 37th Edward III c. 5 was di-
rected against grocers engrossing
merchandise" that is to say, against
the absorbing or monopolizing OF
trade. Here there appears to be an
early instance of hostility to the run
ming of great stores. Blackstone, the
legal authority, distinctly states that
engrossing was the getting into ones
possession, or buying UP large guam
titles of corn or other dead victuals
with intent to sell them again"
