VEHICLE DAMAGED
ROBERT RITcHEY AND MRS.
BENNETT COLLIDE SATURDAY.

Mrs. Lizzie Spill Bennett, enroute
home Saturday evening about 1920,
met with an accident at the corner
of G avenue west and North L street.
She was driving a horse and buggy
going east from the Fair Grounds,
and in turning north into Il street
was hit by the automobile of Robert
Ritchey, who was going west. II
was dark at this corner and Mrs.
Bennett miscalculated the speed of
the auto in turning the corner too
soon. Mr.. Ritchey was quick in his
assistance and gave Mrs. Bennett aid
and help in reaching her house on
North L street extension. In the
mix up Mrs. Bennett was bruised on
the left side, the rear wheel OF the
buggy smashed, but no other damage
resulted.

Is a Bad Place.

Coming upon the turn from the
north one cannot see the corner be
cause of the brow of the hill. The turn
starts almost Immediately as the
grade pitched down. The outer edge OF
the turn is lower than the inside which
makes the place particularly bad, and
doubly dangerous in wet weather. The
edge of the road is some five or six
feet above the place where the car
landed and where the body of Mickey
was found.
Mr.. Bennett stated that the place in
the road taken for the track of a
skidding car was made by the under
takers ambulance when it struck a
rut in the road upon approaching the
corner.
A young man who passed the corner
just little before the accident hap.
pened stated it had been raining a
little before he came along and again
afterwards but that the going was not
particularly bad or slippery as he re-

worse however when the heavy car
came along. It is said the clothing of
the boys was somewhat wet when
they were picked up.
Walter Johnson lost valuable dia-
mond ring in the accident together
with pocket book. Smalley had al
most all the clothing torn from his
body. The diamond was found about
FIVE o'clock Sunday evening at the
scene of the accident by Fay Clough
of Oskaloosa. The pocket book was re-
covered early in the morning.
The car was singularly free from in
jury after its violent experience and
no difficulty was experienced in driv-
ing it from the place where it stood in
the ravine. The top was down and
this permitted the occupants and the
contents to be thrown out. Cushions
and tools were found scattered
through the weeds in the rayine dis
lance of fifty or more feet from where
the car came to standstill.
Hundreds of cars and many people
visited the scene of the accident Sun
day and when the nature of the mis-
hap was revealed wonder was express
cd that any of the party escaped alive.
