TWO ARE INJURED
WHEN CARS COLLIDE
Earl Prophet and Alex Adams In
iured in Automobile Accident
Sunday Evening-May Claim
Damages

Earl Prophet and Alex Adams,
owners OF the Acme Barber shop,
were severely injured Sunday even
ing when Mr. Prophets Chevrolet
automobile and an Oakland Six OPP
Grated as stage between Colfax
and Lewiston collided just this side
OF ColfaX. Messrs. Prophet and
Adams were returning from Spokane
and the stage machine was headed
for ColfaX. The force of the impact
threw Mr.. Adams against the wind
shield, resulting in numerous deep
cuts about the face and body, and
severe bruises. One cheek was laid
open to the bone, the cut extending
| to the mouth, and several stitches
were required to close the wound.
Mr.. Prophet suffered severe bruises
on his right leg and chest and sew
eral deep cuts. The injured men
were both brought to Pullman by
!
tention and both were almost ex-
| hausted from loss of blood when
they arrived here. None of the five
or six occupants of the Oakland
were injured. Both automobiles
were badly wrecked.
! Both of the drivers lay the blame
! for the accident on the other and a
law suit may be necessary to settle
the controversy. Mr.. Prophet al
leges that the Oakland was running
with but one light and travelling at
high rate of speed. When he saw
it round the curve he thought it to
be a motorcycle and claims that he
gave it all the road possible, driving
his own machine to within a couple
of feet of the fence. He claims that
the Oakland was travelling so fast
that it was forced to the extreme
left hand side of the road in making
the curve and that the driver could
not regain the right hand side Of
the road in time to avert the COLI
sion A group of Pullman men
drove to the scene of the accident
soon after it occurred and took
measurements of the wheel tracks
which, it is claimed, substantiate
the statements of Mr.. Prophet. The
driver of the Oakland is alleged to
have refused to give his name when
questioned by Mr.. Prophet.
The Oakland driver alleges that
Prophet was the speed law violator
and that he was blinded by the glar-
ing lights on the Chevrolet. One OF
the lights was smashed in the mix
up but persons who have seen the
other since the accident claim that
it complies with the state law in
every respect.
The force of the collision turned
the Chevrolet almost completely
around, while the Oakland went on
past and into the ditch.
Both of the Pullman men are re-
covering satisfactorily from their in
juries.
