Pushed Off the Road.
To Sheriff Rauen this morning
Flynn, the driver and owner of the car
told his version of the accident. He
declared that he was driving from Chi
cage to his country home near Bur
llngton and proceeding at reasonable
rate, certainly not more than twenty
five miles an hour. He declared that
at the turn where the accident occurred
large Marmon car swerved around
the corner to meet him and forced
him off the road. At the side of the
road was a ditch more than foot
deep and the automobile slipped. into
this and was turned completely over
The body and top of the car were
completely wrecked. This morning it
was righted and although in bad CON
dition could be moved under its own
power. II was taken to a garage in
Burlington.
Deputy Sheriff Investigate.
The accident attracted large num-
Der of people from the village of New
Munster and several false reports re-
garding it were spread from vague
rumors emanating from the scene of
the accident. Deputy Sheriff William
Ebert of New Munster took charge Of
the wrecked car. In searching it a
en-, oil of
cured for medicinal purposes on a pre-
scription in Chicago, was found in a
travelling bag in the car.
This was reported to Sheriff Rauen
who this morning went to New Nuns
ter to make complete investigation of
the affair. Mr.. Flynn explained that
the whiskey was medicine which he
had secured for his wife, who is now
i'll at the country home. The marking
on the prescription bore out his story.
The bottle gave the appearance of not
having been even opened
DR.. George E. Newell, to whom the
injured Chicagoans had been taken in
Burlington gave the sheriff a signed
settlement declaring that there was alb
solutely no indication that any one of
the three men had been drinking and
that his investigation had entirely sub
stantiated their story. Sheriff Rauen
exonerated the men from any blame
and dropped any further investigation
of the accident.
These details are made public to put
ar end to false reports which arose
following the accident.

All of the three men are prominent
in their lines of business in Chicago.
One is member of an exclusive ath-

SAYS COAL MOVING
TOWARD WISCONSIN
State Officials Get Word That 100000
Tons from Southern Fields Will
be Available Soon.


Madison, Wis. = Coal is moving to
Wisconsin from the West Virginia and
Kentucky fields, p H. Pressentin, sec
rotary of the state fuel committee, was
notified today by the national fuel ad-
ministration. An initial shipment of
$4,000 tons should be received this
week according to the information.
The national administration said
that it was doing everything possible
to relieve the emergency that exists
in Wisconsin. Rail strike developments
have impeded the movement of priority
coal and hindered distribution of the
needed fuel, it advised the state COM
mittee.
A shipment of 100000 tons is expect
ed next week, a large part of which
will be available for Wisconsin.

InQuiring Reporter
TODAY's QUESTION:
What action would you advise coal
consumers to take at this time?

What action would you advise coal
consumers to take at this time?
ANSWERS:
Badger Fuel and Supply Company
1 would advise people to place their
orders for coal at once. We are MAX
ing practice of taking orders for
coal with the understanding that they
are subject to delivery in the order
in which they are taken and price and
quantity subject to the time they are
delivered.
Geo. S., Baldwin Coal Company =
It's wise to lay in your coal when you
can. Everybody ought to have GER
tain percent of their winters supply
of coal on hand right now. If condi-
tions warrant it, each consumer could
place his order now for little coal.
There is no use trying to order your
entire winters supply now, because
conditions will soon clear up.
John O'Donnell Coal company = We
are taking orders but we refuse to
quote any prices. Nor can we tell
when we shall be able to get any coal,
Until dll LuG SlIGCbS VI lIlS dLS
completely Strengthened out and set
tied. There is no cause for worry,
however, about the winter supply of
coal.
o. A. Mcneil Coal Company We
would advise them to place their or
ders with the dealers to be filled when
they can. We're practically cleared
out, now with no prospects of any
early shipments. The man that places
his order now will be better off later.
Orders, of course, are subject to price
at the time Of delivery, and we can't
tell when that will be.
Central Fuel and Ice Company - It's
best to place orders now. We will take
orders and furnish the coal at the
price at time of delivery. Today you
can't buy coal from anyone. But
that is no reason to worry. l pre-
dict that coal will move before the
middle of September.

Mrs. Neil Curry Sues N.
M. Weiss for $4,000
in Chicago.
WAS INJURED HERE
Damages Sought for Injuries
in Auto Accident in which
Jacob Kuel Was Killed.

Another echo of the automobile ac-
cident, in which Jacob Kuel, former
deputy sheriff of Kenosha county was
killed when the automobile driven by
Mrs. Mary Robbins turned turtle near
Liberty Corners, was heard in the
Chicago courts on Tuesday when Mrs.
Neil Curry, another one of the occu-
pants of the death car, filed a suit
for $4,000 damages against Norman
NJ. Weiss, general manager of the
Calumet Refrigerator company of Chi
cago, and owner of the overturned
automobile. Mrs. Curry demands the
sum as damages for the injuries which
she received in the accident.
The accident occurred on Sunday
afternoon, June 18th. Mrs. Curry, Mrs.
Robbins, Weiss and Jacob Kuel were
riding in the car when it left the road
and turned over in the ditch. Kuel
was killed instantly. Both Mrs. Rob-
bins and Mrs. Curry were injured and
were taken to a physicians Office
in Salem and later to the st. Cath
crimes hospital.
Faced Manslaughter Charge.
The women were so seriously hurt
that the probe into the cause of the
accident was delayed for several days
pending their recovery. Mrs, Robbins,
who was driving the car, was later
arraigned on charge of manslaughter
as was also Weiss, as the owner of
the car. Both were released after a
preliminary hearing.
Mrs. Curry whose injuries while
painful, we're not considered serious,
was taken to her home in Chicago in
an ambulance. Her claim for damages
against Weiss is based on the fact that
he was the owner of the death car.
To Watch Suit Here.
1t is said that relatives of Kuel will
watch with interest the outcome of
the suit of Mrs. Curry against the
Chicago, man. Should she recover dam
ages, it is possible that Kuel's rela-
tives could also recover damages be-
cause of the accident and similar
suit might be filed in Kenosha county.
Mrs. Curry in her suit declares that
she is an actress and that the injuries
which she sustained have interfered
with her work. Mrs. Robbins, the
driver Of the car, was also former
actress, having been member of the
cast of the Follies prior to her marri-
age to Cutler H. Robbins of Chicago,
from whom she is now divorced.
