FIlrClnS WIN QedIn proved regular

Of the four occupants of the car. The
Studebaker took a nose dive into the
ditch and the occupants only received
a severe shake-up from which all of
them will recover.
Escape Serious Injury.
1t is believed that all of the mem
bers of both motor parties escaped
serious injury, but each of the occu-
pants of the Winton Six car received
painful injuries which made it neces-
sary for them to be brought to Keno
sha to have their injuries cared for
by physicians. Early reports declared
that the four we're taken to hospital
but investigation revealed that their
injuries while painful were not severe
enough to warrant this and all were
taken to their homes. The injured we're !:
Joseph Miller, driver of the car,
who is suffering from severe cuts
and bruises about the face and
shoulders.
Wallace Blair, dislocated knee
knee and minor cuts.
Robert T. Williams, dislocated
spine, not believed to be serious.
Marvin Kincaid, dislocated
shoulder
All of these with the exception of Mr..
Williams were able to be at their places
Of employment this morning.
Could Not See Turn.
Mr.. Miller, who was driving the DON
ley car, in giving his account of the
accident, declared that it was caused
by the fact that foggy night coupled
with the flashes of lightning prevent
ed him from seeing the sharp turn in
the road and caused him to be unable
to avoid turning turtle. The car was
moving at rate of twenty-five miles
an hour and when the driver attempted
to make the turn, the wheels skidded
on the wet pavement and was turned
completely over. All of the men were
caught under the car and while they
we're extricating themselves from it,
the second car came along and went
into the ditch. Meanwhile a passing
motorist had halted his car at the side
of the road and had gone to the aid
of the four injured Kenoshans The
lights on this car are said to have
blinded Peet, the driver of ting Stude-
baker car, and caused him to go
straight off the road into the ditch.
Reported to Sheriff.
The injured men were brought to
Kenosha Immediately by the motorist
who had stopped his car to aid them.
Meanwhile some one who had passed
by the accident reported the affair to
the sheriff and urged that cid be hur-
ried to the scene. Undersheriff Kniep-
fer and Detective Rock hurried to the
scene of the accident but when they
reached there, the occupants of both
cars had been taken to Kenosha. An
inability to discover the identity of the
persons in the accident threw an air of
mystery over it this morning and re-
suited in greatly exaggerated stories
of the affair becoming current.
The fact that the Studebaker car had
carried no license also added more
mystery to the episode and at the di-
rection of the officials both cars were
brought into the Sheridan Road garage
and the Sfudebaker was ordered held
for investigation. This morning Peet
explained that because he was using a
garage license, he had removed this
after the accident and brought it to
Kenosha with him.
Both of the cars are badly damaged
as result of the accident. The top
of the Winton Six was smashed to
splinters and the front of the Stude-
baker was badly damaged.
