Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Thorson met with
a rather serious accident Sunday
while driving through the Turtle
Mountains in a motorcycle and side
car. At the Absolonson farm two
wires had been strung acros the
road and these were not noticed by
MI. Thorson until too late to stop the
machine. AS a result the occupants
were thrown against the wires with
great force, receiving severe scratches
and having their clothes badly torn,
If parties closing roads with %stringing
wires across would tie a cloth or some
other object, easily seen, on the wires,
accidents of this kind could usually
be averted.
