COMMISSIONER
 HAD ACCIDENT

According to those who arrived over the trail last evening Road Com missioner Bob Sheldon is in a good position to know all of the chuck holes in the trail between here and McCarty.
 Bob arrived in town last evening in his car. (In his car Is right.)
 The tale as told concerning one chuck hole about five miles this side of the fox farm at Mile.52 Is that the commissioner was speeding up considerably to show the Brewer driver just what speed is. He was going at good rate when his car started to slew after bouncing out of a chuck hole, and within @ few seconds Bob and his care were doing a wrestling match in the muddy road, the car turning over no less than three times. securing the first and only fall, Bob being underneath.
 When the Brewer stage final ly came along the passengers righted things and gave Bob a tow to town as he was minus one wheel. Bob was not hurt by the mixup. for within ten minutes after he arrived he was busy plucking "kamokas."
