PAW PAW LADY is THROWN
FROM BUGGY IN COLLISION

Mrs. George Benwire sustained
quite serious injuries last Saturday
afternoon as a result of being thrown
from the buggy to the pavement, in
a collision with an automobile.
She had unhitched the horse, which
was tied at the east of the O'Grady
Bros. store, and started to turn the
corner around the Eaton and Mosier
store. The machine was coming
from the west and turned the corner
going toward the depot. The car was
a new one owned by G. w. Price and
driven by his son, who was just
learning to manage it. In turning
the corner, it is said, he took wide
circle instead of keeping close to the
right as he made the turn. Mrs
Benwire turned the horse for enough
to clear the car, but could not get the
buggy out, and the car struck the
rear wheel throwing her out. One
hip was disclocated, and several
severe bruises sustained.
Mr.. Price, owner of the car, regrets
the accident keenly, and calls at the
Benwire home frequently to see how
the injured lady is getting along. Il
is an accident for which of course ht
is not to blame. 1t is simply one Of
those accidents which frequentl!
happen as a result of an inexperi
enced driver attempting to drive ;
car through a crowded street.
