WAS right ROYAL MIX-UP

Most automobile accidents have so
much of the tragic in them that COM
edy is utterly lacking, but occasionally
one is pulled across where no one is
injured and the laughable element is
strongly present. Such was the case
when James Davis, Interstate Oil
man, turned out to pass a car and a
patrolman on one of the curves be-
tween Readstown and Soldiers Grove
Thursday. Going too near the edge,
the soft dirt gave way and Jim and
the truck rolled over two times down
into the river bottoms. Nothing fun
ny about that, of course, and indeed a
miracle that Jim escaped with only a
few bruises and wrenched back, and
only minor damage to the truck. But
the other driver, looking back, was so
overcome with the sight of the truck
rolling over and over, that he forgot
he was driving a car and went over
the. bank also. While the patrolman
was dragging his car back into the
road, two more cars passed-and both
went over the bank while watching
the rescue work. But the browning
event of the mixup came when an old
man and elderly lady in a Chevrolet
car ran off the road a. block above
where the other cars had gone over,
turned bottom side up, and then the
old man cussed the whole bunch for
causing the accident by obstructing
