WOMAN
NEARS DEATH
IN ACCIDENT
Mrs. Mary Burning Thrown From
Car Driven by Son-Rescued
by Passing Motorists
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo. Sept. 20.-An accident
which might have resulted in the
death of several persons occurred
last Sunday evening at the Ed
wards river bridge, north of Aledo
on the Rock Island road.
A car driven by Fred burning OF
Aledo, coming from the north,
struck the automobile coming from
the south, driven by Gale Johnson
of Aledo. The only thing which
saved the occupants of the john
son car from being thrown into the
water beneath the bridge was the
fact that they stopped the engine
of their car when they saw Durn-
ing coming. There is not room
enough on this bridge to allow two
cars TO pass. The burning car hit
the johnson car with such force
as to tear the fender off.
The Edwards river being out of
its banks has caused a covering OF
bout three or four feet of water
over the land near the bridges. Oc-
cupants of the Johnson car, who
were Mr.. Johnson, his wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Homer Job Of Aiedo,
thought they saw someone fall
from Durning's car into the water.
1t was learned that his mother,
Mrs. Mary Burning of AieGo, had
been with him when he started out.
Upon learning that Mrs. burning
had been an occupant OF the car
until the time it struck the John
sen car on the bridge, investiga-
ton was Immediately begun to To-
cate the woman. who was found
about twenty feet from the bridge,
submerged in the water. MIR. Job
and Mr.. Johnson helped her out of
the water. She declared that she
vas not hurt and refused medical
aid offered by an Aledo doctor, who
was passing. She was brought
back to town in the Johnson car.
Although it was dark when the
accident occurred Burning is said
to have had no lights on his car
and only the Investigations of the
johnson party saved Mrs. burning
from drowning.
