nice and Miss Ruth Farmer met with
an accident, which, while of a serious
nature, might easily have ended in the
death of one or more of the party

Miss Farmer to Grand Junction, where
she was to take the train to Eagle
where she is employed as telegraph
operator. AS they neared Grand juno
ton they discovered that the road had
become very slippery from a slight
snow which had fallen. When within
about five miles of their destination
they rounded curve and in skidding
the car turned around, struck rock
and turned completely over. finally
righting itself directly across the road
Luke and Miss Farmer were precipi-
tated to the ground, but Miss Meyer
was held in the car Miss Farmer
was practically uninjured but both the
Meyer young people were dazed and
unconscious tor a few moments. Luke
received broken shoulder blade and
badly cut eye, while his sister has a
severe cash across her face.
NJ. N Due and family of Grand
Junction came along in short time,
and took the party to Grand Junction
where they remained until Monday.
The Meyer young people received sur
gical attention at ST Mary's hospital,
while Miss Farmer was taken to the
home of her uncle, Sam Farmer They
returned to Delta Monday and while
both Luke and his sister are severely
cut and shaken up they declare that
you can't keep a good man and girl
down and are spending part of their
time looking after business in their
jewelry store which they only recent
ly purchased from Roy L. Smith.
