! the days outing at Gothic, Saturday,
wire confronted by serious accident
on one of the sharp turns just above
! Jacks Cabin, when Pete Johnson's
| passenger BUS overturned. 1t seems
that when Mr. johnson went to turn
the curve, the steering gear refused
to respond, thus hitting the culvert
and completely over turning the car.
Miss Elva johnson of Penrose, had ker
ann broken above the elbow and at
tire elbow, also sustained injuries in
ternally, the extent Of which could
rot be determined at the time. Miss
Johnson was taken to the Hospital at
Canon City Sunday evening for treat
ment. Misses Madeline Daggett and
and Patten also sustained injuries,
while others of the party were badly
b used and shaken up. -

Monday evening. at the High School
rounds while tie Fso .er-Stones show
was being presented in the audito-
rum, several of Gunnison's ambitious
youngsters made nuisance of them
selves playing the game of me chanic"
with several of the cars whose owners
were at the show. They took the
wiring off the spark plugs, lights, and
throughout the cars in general, also
detached the fans. Three of the cars
were in condition that necessitated
them being towed into town for re-
pains. .sSomehow we can't see just
where all the fun comes in.
