Auto Accident,

bile and another machine from
Barton collided in one of the
sharp turns on the Pelican
Lake road near the Torgerson
church Sunday afternoon.
Fortunately none of the occup-
ants of the machines were in
jured, but the Barton car was
badly smashed up. Wenstad's
machine came out of the fracas
with only some minor dam
ages.
That the accident was not of
a more serious nature is almost
a miracle. The two cars were
travelling in opposite directions
and met at sharp curve at the
foot of a steep hill. AS the
trees grow right up to the road
on both sides there was no op-
portunity for the drivers to see
each other until the cars were
only a few feet apart.
