FOUR HURT WHEN
CAR TURNS OVER
L. Fenska, G. Bokdanska,
His Daughter and A.
Stucberg Injured.
ALL ARE IN HOSPITAL

Just what happened to turn the car
over none of the victims were able to
tell this morning, but today there lies
in the Kenosha hospital four sufferers
from an accident on the Milwaukee
road Sunday afternoon, Louis Fenska,
Gus Bokdanska, his little daughter,
Ida, all of 226 Marion avenue, and
Adolph Stucberg of Milwaukee, owner
and driver Of the car.
Bokdanska's collar bone is broken,
his daughters left arm is fractured
and Fenska sustained serious bruises
about the face and head. Stucberg
was thrown through the windshield,
and one of the arteries in his left hand
was cut through, and it was necessary
to take five stitches in sewing him up.
Physicians who attended the hapless
party in the hospital stated that all
of the victims were perfectly sober
and the accident, however it happened,
was not to be attributed to the pres
ence of John Barleycorn. This state
ment may seem obtrusive, but in view
of the fact that many accidents are
caused by careless drivers who have
imbibed too freely and because this
accident was unexplainable, the doc
tors at the hospital paid particular at
tention to the condition of the patients
and inNhis case found all three men,
including the driver suffering from
hurt but not from intoxication.
Stuckberg had come to Kenosha to
take his friends out driving in his
Buick touring car, and with Fenka,
Bokdanska and the latter's child, had
left the city and was driving towards
Milwaukee on the Milwaukee road. He
said that he was going along at about
20 miles an hour when something hap
pened. The wheels of the car broke
due to some other cause unknown,
and the car dropped into the ditch
and turned over. The party of hurt
and bleeding people was taken to the
hospital by a passing mocorist. DR..
McCluskey and DR.. Swarthout attended
the sufferers. The wrecked car was
towed in by the Buick garage.
