CAR PLUNGES INTO RIVER
Occupants Have Remarkable Escape
When Machine Drops 80 Feet
and Turns Over

Rutland, Aug. 5.-Perley Whelden and
Marsh Whelden of Ludlow had a re-
markabe escape from death this morn
ing at eight o'clock when the moline
Knight touring car which the latter was
driving left the highway at the Webb
Lincoln iron bridge a mile south of East
Clarendon, plunged over a bank and
then dropped nearly 80 feet into the bed
of Mill river, turning bottom side up.
Both men escaped with slight cuts and
bruises, being able to extricate them
selves from under the car and crawl up
on the bank.
The fact that the occupants Of the car
were not pinned underneath 1t and
crushed was due to the manner in which
one end of the machine rested on a log
when it overturned.
The car was travelling northward when
the accident happened. The bridge is ap-
preached by curve on steep slope
and it was while rounding this that
the machine struck a piece of timber
on the right side of the road, which is
used as a guard. bounded diagonaly
across the highway and then went over
the bank. DR.. II. s. Martin of Cutting

return home by automobile after being
brought to this city by ambulance to
have their wound dressed.
