early Tuesday morning. Mr.. Blizzard
had his brothers roadster and was
ON his way to Baltimore. Driving
was very dangerous as the rain made
the pike slippery and fog also pre-
vented him from seeing any distance
ahead. As he pulled over the incline
at the Turtle farm lane, large load
of hay doomed UP in front of him and
only short distance in front. When
he turned to pass his car skidded,
struck a tree and upset with him
under it. He was held fast under
the car for nearly 80 minutes before
sufficient help could be secured to re
lease him. He was soaked with
gasoline leaking from the tank when
taken out. After medical aid was
given he was taken to his home where
he is recovering. The car was badly
wrecked.
