DITCH AT MASONVILLE
WISCONSIN PEOPLE INJURED AS
CAR GOES IN DITCH. INJURED
IN LOCAL HOSPITAL.
WERE ON WAY Tb CATTLE SHOW
Seven Passenger Buick Is Wreck. In.
jured Persons viii All
Recover.

Six persons travelling by auto from
North Lake, Wisconsin, to the Cattle
Congress at Waterloo, are In the local
hospital recovering from injuries re-
ceiyed in an automobile accident Mon
day evening, while driving along the
Hawkeye highway west Of Masonville
The party stopped at Keckler's res
taurant on Monday evening, and left
about seven o'clock for Waterloo, When
about a mile west Of Masonville,
travelling at a high rate Of speed. the
car went into the ditch after passing
over a small culvert. All OF the occu-
pants of the machine were more or
less injured. w. ]. Smith and his fam
lily had just passed the party on their
way home from Independence, and
had gone only about three hundred
feet when they heard the terrible
crash. Mr.. Smith hastened at once to
the tourists, and brought four Of them
to the local hospital. Later the other
two men were brought to the hospital,
where their injuries were dressed and
all OF them made as comfortable as
possible.
It appears that the driver Of
the car was Of the opinion that the
road on the west side OF the culvert
was as wide as on the east side, and
believed that there was no need q
slowing down for the bridge. Instead
of finding smooth road way on the
west side of the bridge he struck q
ditch, which completely wrecked the
car. and threw the occupants OF the
machine to the ground. The injuries
consist of cuts and bruises. Fortuna
telyfno one suffered fractured bones.
The injured who were cared for IN
the local hospital were
Fred Weiffenbach. North Lake, Wis
consin.
Mrs. Fred Weiffenbach, North Lake,
Wisconsin.
Miss Beatrice Weiffenbach, North
Lake, Wisconsin.
Miss Myrtle vandeblash, North Lake,
Wisconsin.
John winter, North Lake, Wiscon-
sin.
Jacob schIicler, Hadland. Wiscon-
sin.
The men IN the party are dairy men
and have herds of dairy cattle at the
Waterloo Cattle Congress and natur-
ally were anxious to be there during
the big show. It is believed that their
injuries will readily yield to treat
ment and that they will soon be able
to go to Waterloo to look after their
stock.
This accident, while no doubt que
to speed, emphasizes the necessity OF
a wide road bed, especially where
bridges and culverts have been install
ed, Had the road been proper width
the accident might not have happen
ed.
Fortunately for the victims OF this
accident that Manchester had a hos
pital. Every room in the small hospi-
tai was occupied by inquired from this
one automobile accident. We believe
that a larger hospital in Manchester
could be used to good advantage, ana
some definite steps should be taken py
our people to build one.
