The Lewiston owned car was pro-
ceeding toward Waterville and just
after going over the crest of a hill
about nine miles out from Augusta
the Wheaton machine suddenly APP
peared in front of them attempting
to pass a car coming toward Au
gusta. Mr.. Harkins made every eff
fort to avoid being struck by the on
coming Cleveland but the two cars
came together and the Studebaker
suffered considerable damage. The
frame was twisted. the front left
wheel crumpled the mud guard and

has just returned from a weeks trip
to st. John, n. b.
Mr.. Berry reports that many
tourists who have crossed the lire
are held up for some time and
caused additional expense before
then can return to this country, be-
cause of a new immigration law
which was recently passed by the
United States congress and which Is
being enforced very carefully. An
automobile drivers license or other
papers which simply show residence

procure readmission to the United,

tourists appreciate it indeed.

One Injured as
Result Collision
Autos in Passing

AS a result of q Collision between
two automobiles on the Winthrop
road near the residence of Sheriff
Henry Cummings about $50 Monday
evening Mrs. Charles c. Metcalf of
IS Chapel street. this city. was taken
to the Augusta general hospital SUI
fering from a probable fracture of
the left wrist. bad bruises to the LETT
hip and right knee and severe cuts
about the face and neck. She Is not
considered to be in a serious condi-
ton however. Several others in the
two cars escaped from the collision
with hardly a scratch.
The accident occurred on a slight
rise to the east of Mr. Cummings
house. The Metcalf car, a Nash
coupe, driven by Miss George Met
calf, was proceeding toward Man
chester and was one of a line of
several automobiles going in that
direction. The other machine, an
Oldsmobile touring car driven by
Fred Fuller of Hallowen was going
toward Augusta and was also one
of several cars going in the same
direction. In the Nash besides Miss
Metcalf were Mrs. Metcalf and AL
bert Ridley. Besides Mr.. Fuller there
we're several members of his family
in the Oldsmobile.
The exact manner in which the &C
cident occurred Is not known. In
some manner the two cars as they
passed, came just near enough to-
sether so that the hubs OF the two
front wheels locked and the shock
was enough to wrench the wheels
from the drivers hands. with the re-
suit that the two cars swerved in
behind the other, Fortuna tely
neither auto hit one of the cars in
the road behind. The Metcalf ma
chine went out of the road on the
left hand side and collided violently
with large boulder beside the road,
the force of the collision being suf-
ftcient to throw Mrs. Metcah into
the windshield. The forward part of
the machine was badly crumpled.
The OldsmObile was not seriously
damaged and later proceeded to this
city under its own power.
