 There was a very narrow escape from one of the worst automobile ac- oidents for some time in Rockville on Sunday about 1.3O p. m. A Reo car, driven by Marshall l..

Ellis of SOmers were the occupants of the car at the time of the accident It is un- derstOOd that they were going to call on Dr. Finley with dog that required veterinary treatment and were un- familiar with the steep grade of Chest nut hill. The car had about made the top of the first grade from Prospect street, when the engine stalled. The brakes failed to hold, and the car started to run back. MT. Bradway kept his head, however, to the extent of holding what control he could, and turned the wheel so that the car swung across the road and cameup against the high retaining wall of town clerk John B. ThOmas's place. The force of the impact can be judged from the circumstance that a large, heavy stone in the center wall was displaced and pushed inwards. The car tipped over, and by piece of wonderful good fortune came against tree and held. But for that nothing could have saved 1t from rolling down the hill into Prospect street. All es- capped injury except Mrs. BradWay
 
 and required two stitches. Jacks and tackle were supplied from Barstow's garage, and the car righted, A broken wind shield and torn top was the ex- tent of the damage, so far as could be learned, and MT. Bradway returned home in the car. The rest of the par ty came home with Robert Pease.
