Automobile Upset

Mr.. Charles C. Koch one of
Brunswick's we'll known and re.
spected citizens had a narrow es-
cape from very serious injury,
and possibly from death last Sun
day night. AS it was he received
a number of severe cuts and
bruises and his automobile one
of the best in this vicinity, was
damaged to a considerable ex-
tent.
The accident occurred about5
miles north of Mendon while Mr.
Koch, Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Mont
gomery, Walter Peterson and
Leroy Montgomery were return
ing from Unionville, Mo. where
they had gone to bring home four
new cars for the Montgomery
Garage. The party went to
Unionville in Mr.. Koch's car and
on the'return trip Mr. Koch drove
his own car the other members
of the party driving the four new
machines.
When the party was near
Brookfield the lights on Mr..
Koch's car failed, but he con-
tinued the trip trusting to the
lights from the other cars. two
of which were in front and two
were behind him. About5 miles
north of Mendon they struck a
piece of road where the dust was
unusally heavy, and the cloud of
dust raised by the cars ahead
caused Mr.. Koch to lose sight of
the roadway for an instant. The
front wheel of his car missed
narrow culvert and the big mach
inc went over on its side in the
ditch. Luckily and by what seems
almost miraculous, Mr.. Koch was
not caught under the car when
it went over. His narrow es-
cape is shown by the fact that the
steering wheel was smashed and
the top badly bent and twisted,
He crawled out of the car as
soon as it went over. His COM
panions hurried him to Mendon,
where DR.. W D West was sum-
moned and it was found that Mr..
Koch had suffered a painful cut
on the left hand and wrist and
minor cuts about the head and
face, and number of painful
bruises. We areIglad to say his
injuries are not serious and are
healing rapidly.
The car a big handsome Jack Rab-
bit roadster came out of the
wreck in remarkable good shape
consideri lg the weight of the car
and the nature of the accident.
When it was righted and the
motor started the machine moved
off under its own power, and
was made to do 40 miles and bet
ter on the trip home.
We join Charles many friends
in congratulating him that the
accident was no worse.

Methodist Picnic

Members of the Methodist
church gave a delightful picnic
Tuesday to the S. S. pupils and
others. The Price bridge was
selected for the place and tho
the weather was extremely
warm a delightful outing was
enjoyed. Swimming, wading
and padding were the favorite
sports, and such a dinner. We
were delighted with some deli
cious chicken sandwiches pre-
sented by the secretary of the
county S. S. organization.

1t will be necessary next week
