LOCAL men HURT
In AUTO CRASH
Cashier Ryder of Peoples Bank
Badly Injured
Manley's Car Hits Telephone Pole
Thomas T. Britain Injured About
Spine, but Is Able to BE About.

While returning TO Brattleboroo
Wednesday afternoon from the annual
clam bake of the Spofford Lake Fish and
Game club in Chesterfield Center an Es-
sex touring car driven by John Il. Man
ley, head of the Manley Brothers garage,
came to grief when it ran into tele-
phone pole, and two passengers were in
jured, one of them seriously. The pas
sengers were John X. Ryder, cashier OF
the Peoples National bank, and Thomas
II. Britain, Federal garage manager.
Mr.. Ryder, who was riding alone in the
tonneau. sustained broken nose, u
wrenched back and severe cuts and
bruises besides having the lgamcnts torn
from his right hip. He is under the care
of nurse at bis home on Western ave-
nue. Mr.. Britain suffered an injury to
the lower part of his spine but was able
to be otrt yesterday. He also was cut
on one leg. Mr.. Manley was not injured.
One explanation of the accident is that
Mr.. Manley stepped on the accelerator
instead of the brake as he approached
the curve where the car left the road.
Another is that one front wheel struck
II rock throwing the car suddenly to the
left.
The accident happened between B and
4 o'clock just after the car had rounded
the curve near the top of the long hill
beyond Cless G. Davis's place. The ma
chine left the road on its left hand side,
which was the outside of the bend, trav-
crsed few feet of rough land. tipped
over n pole which held a rural mail box
and crashed into Il telephone pole, break
ing it off.
Some damage was caused to the ma
chine. so much that after Mr.. Manley
had returned home he sent a truck after
it. The injured men were brought home
by Moshcr garage car which was pass
ing. Mr.. Manlcy left soon afterwards
in another car to keep an evening APP
pontmcnt. =,
The scene ofthe accident was near the
premises of Alfred Il. b. Ward, and
within short time small crowd had
gathered. Mr.. Ryder's injuries were such
that report soon was circulated that
one of his legs had been broken. Blood
on the car, which came from cuts re
suting from flying glass from the wind
shield and from other INJURIES added q
touch of grewsomeness to the first re
ports.
