down grade at the probable rate OF
30 miles an hour, upset and threw the
occupants in all directions, injuring
Miss Mary LaPointe of this city. and
one of the boys in the party, who suf'
fered a bad cut on his head. The pare

ed. Miss LaPointe was driving the
car and she stated that one of the
boys in the marty accidentally threw
IN the clutch and speeded the over
loaded car up so that it overturned
before she was able TO prevent. w r
Ayers, who was passing at the time
assisted the party to extricate them
selves from the car, and sent Miss La
Pointe and the injured boy. whose
name was not ascertained, to this city
for treatment
That several Of the reckless Young
Joy-riders were not killed or very Sc
riously injured is little short of mir
acle. for Mr.. Ayers stated that the
car was travelling about as fast as it
is possible for a heavily-lo Ford
to travel when the car overturned.
That more serious results did not at
tend the affair is probably due to the
fact that the car turned completely
over. almost righting itself, and did
notSstop on top of the party of young
sters.
The car was badly smashed up. the
windshield being broken into a thou
sand pieces, the mudguards bent. and
the rear wheel on the left side being
nearly broken off. while the top was
twisted and bent. and three of the
tires burst. Nearly every member OF
the party was bruised and cut, and
they We're all very thoroughly fright
ened by the experience. Mr. Ayers
stated that he does not believe that
the accident was the fault of Miss
LaPointe, as it was the act of one Of
her companions which increased the
speed Of the car to the danger point,
