Careless Driving Causes Runaway

Careless drying of an auto

runaway that was fortunate in
results. AS VIM. Enrich, wife

Just before reaching the hitchrack,
however, the buggy overturned
dragging the occupants along in
the top. DR.. Layton who was
here from Kansas City on a visit
happened to be near and assisted in
picking up the woman and children
and accompanied them to the
home of Henry Enrich where they
were given medical attention. Aside
from many bruises none were
hart, however. A girl about 10
years of age was driving the car.
The buggy was on the right side
of the street, the view was not OBJ
structed in any way and there was
no cause for the accident except
carelessness on the part of those
in the car. The owner of the car
volunteered to make good all
damages.
