Mr.. and Mrs Thomas Stephenson
came over from Anita Tuesday for
a visit at the Stephenson home I'm
this city. They made the trip in
their car, which was badly damaged
when they ran into the banister OF
the bridge just south of the Steph-
enson home. AS they We're turning
the corner coming north, they
faced a car going south and to
prevent a head-on collision they
turned to the side of the bridge,
breaking two of the rails, leaving
only one small rail, which prevent
ed them from plunging into the
creek We understand the other car
escaped with injury but the Steph-
enson car was badly damaged. 1t
was a very marrow escape.
