Nnen the steering gear broke and the
car went over the side of the road ana
DOWN the embanNment. II made two
complete somerSaults before IL stop
PED rleht side up, and, strange to say,
with oui little damage to occupants or
automobile, The stout frame OF the
coupe held together and showed bu.
hUle injury, and II the same time pro-
tected the two men, The glass in the
TWO doors was broken and the TOP
was roughed little, but even the wind-
shield was not cracked. Mr.. Reinhart
escaped injury entirely, but Mr.. Sulli-
van was cut somewhat BY the glass.
Both men were more or less unnerved
by the thrilling experience, but were
exceedingly thankful for their narrow
escape. Help came from Hancock,
the coupe was gotten back on the road.
and the journey was resumed without
further mishap. Again the little Ford
demonstrated its usefulness. This
time 1t showed that IL is as safe as a
bomb-proof.
There was an unlucky collision one
day last week between automobiles
driven by Samuel Michaels, Of the
Zoar neighborhood, and Luther Jones,
near Shepherdstown, at the intersec-
tion OF the Harper's Ferry pike and the
cross road at Schaeffer's, this county.
Both cars were considerably damaged.
Mr.. Jones's had wheel smashed and
fender broken, while that driven BY
Mr. Michaels came out OF the ARRAY
with punctured radiator, bent fen
der and broken lamp and windshield.
The owners of each car blames the
other fellow.
Fred Teets accidentally ran into q
buggy occupied by c. p. Pifer and his
two children, smashing the vehicle
and throwing the Pliers into the road.
Mr.. Teets acknowledges that the fault
was his and will have TO provide a new
buggy, as the old one was completely
wrecked. The accident occurred on
the Leetown pike.
On the Middleway road Milton and
Herbert Shaull had their buggy upset
when an automobile struck IL. The
car kept going, but Milton Shaull got
its license number. The car, he
alleges, belongs to ]. w. Cain, near
Summit Point, but Mr.. Cain denied
any knowledge OF the accident.
