GIRLS AT HOSPITAL
 FOLLOWING AUTO ACCIDENT
Miss Lambert and Miss Powers in Car Which Rolled Down Embank- nnent.

Miss Regina Lambert and Miss Mary Powers, young women of this city, remained at the Day KimbaIl hospital Monday, resting quietly af- ter being injured in an automobile ac- cident near Wilsonville, Sunday fore noon.
 They are seriously, but not danger ously hurt and their recovery is ex- pected in due course of time unless some complication not now indicated develops.
 The young women were members of a party that was enjoying a spin in a light touring car. which skidded, it is claimed, when the brakes were applied, following the blowing out of a tire. and rolled down a 10-foot em- bankment
 The car bore a Rhode Island regis try number and was said Monday to be the property of Archie Bourgeois, believed to live in Gloucester, R. I. The man was injured and is at the hospital here.
 Joseph Montaine and Henry Bowen, both of Chepachet, were the other passengers in the car. Montain es- capped without injury when the car sonersaulted in going over the em- bankment, but Bowen was cut about the face by flying glass from the windshield.
 The party was on the way to this city when the accident occurred at what is described as one of the worst and most dangerous curves on any state highway within miles of this city and the location of a number of serious accidents
