STEPPED ON GAS NOT BRAKE.
As Result, Burlington Man is in
Hospital.

Burlington, July ia. Blumen.
thai of this city is in the Mary Fletch-
er hospital as the result of temporarily
losing control of a truck pear West
Milton yesterday. Mr.. Blumenthal
was driving a Republic truck valued at
81 500. and carrying load of musk
melons for the summer camps in that
district. In attempting to apply his
brakes at the top of the long hill at
West Milton, he accidentlyl stepped on
the accelerator, which stuck. Those
who saw the accident say that
the truck shot down the hill
at the rate of 35 or 40 miles
per hour. At the bottom it was either
a case Of plunging into the river or
striking the bank on the opposite side
of the road. The driver chose the
bank as the safest method of getting
out of his dilemma. When he hit the
bank he also hit boulder, weighing
several hundred pounds, with such
force as to move this several feet, but
with disastrous results to his car,
which was not covered by insurance
Although no X-rays have been taken
to search out internal injuries. Mr..
Blumenthal seems to be suffering only
from surface bruises.
