against shooting fire crackers among
the trees when they passed the cot

wounds dressed in Baraboo she was
taken to the home of +. E. Settergren

where dirt road or wagon-way skirts
the improved portion of the highway
The occupants OF the Ford realizing
the danger when the Nash rearwheels
were seen skidding on the sidehill
pulled as far to the roadside as pos
sible. The Nash kept coming and
continued to sideslip. The driver in
an effort to regain the road, evident
ly put on power sufficient to drive
the car at high speed, but the at
tempt came too late for the cars to
clear and the rear ends came togeth-
er. Both cars were badly wrecked.
The rear wheels of the Ford were
dished and portions of the shattered
glass struck Miss Gordon in the face
inflicting an ugly v-shaped cut above
the left eye. Two small arteries
were severed and the wound bled
profusely Mr.. Murphy sustained a
slight cut on one hand. Tied" Kim
ball of Briggsville who happened
along at the time rushed Miss Cor
don to Baraboo where she was at
tended by a local physicias A large
piece of glass was taken from the
wound. Miss Gordon was on the op,
Grating table quite a long time while
