Inerny of Chicago overturned at
the top of the long Prairie du Sac
hill five miles out of Baraboo on
Monday afternoon about two o.
clock. Mr.. McInerny was accom-
panied by his wife, son, and daugh-
ter and they had been on what Mr.
lnerny described as one of the most
enjoyable trips they have ever tax
en-. They were enroute for home
and when the top of the hill was
reached, Mr.. McInerny applied his
brakes in anticipation of the steep
descent. The slippery condition
of the road caused the car to skid
when the brakes were applied too
suddenly and the machine went off
the road and landed bottom side
up in the ditch.
Mr.. McInerny was badly cut
about the head, receiving deep
cash on the side of his skull from
the broken glass, but the other
three occupants were unhurt. Had
the car been an open one or the
top been down they would probably
have been killed.
A party of friends in another car
ahead returned to the scene of the
oonidapf on1 tCO1Z +I,n IN i,1rod M n II
to Prairie du Sac, where he receiv-
ed medical attention. The party
later returned here and their car
was brought to the TarnutzeT
garage Although one side was
crushed, radiator and fender bent,
the occupants believed that with
slight repairs they would be able
to continue the journey in their
car.
Mr.. McInerny is in the real es-
tate loan department of the West
Englewood Trust & Saving bank,
Chicago.
Collide at Cady Corners
On Sunday morning a car occu-
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Paul F. Sass
and son of Reedsburg collided with
an automobile from Milwaukee at
the Cady Corners, about six miles
east Of Reedsburg. A. woman. in
the Milwaukee car was more or
less injured and taken to a Reeds
burg hospital. While the Reeds
burg car turned over and was bad
ly damaged, the occupants escaped
without injury. The Milwaukee ma
chine was a Ford and was able to
travel after a few repairs were
made.
Madison Car Hits Pole
A Maxwell sport model, bearing
license plate C19-S17 and belong
ing to Earle R. Eisele, 1924 Ruled
ge street, Madison, collided with a
telephone pole at the corner just
past the Willis Ryan home west of
the city and was badly damaged.
The driver was coming toward Bar
aboo and according to his story,
the lights on the big Jensen &
Jones sign placed at this corner to
prevent accidents we're not on. The
driver was unfamiliar with the road
and turned to the left instead of
the right, crashing into telephone
pole. The front of the machine
struck the pole, swerving the car
around so that it landed with the
front door against the pole. For
tunately the pole withstood the on
slaught of the machine.
The occupants were unhurt but
the car was badly damaged and
was brought to the Mueller garage
here, having a broken axle and
other damages. Mr.. Eisele was
accompanied by Leslie Peloquin
and both are University of Wiscon-
sin students.
There were many accidents at
this corner prior to the placing of
the electrically lighted sign and
the grading down of the bank at
the opposite side of the road but
since these safeguards have been
made, few cars have met with &C
cidents there.
Car Loses Wheel
At the same time the McInern.'
car overturned on the Prairie du
Sac hill, another Chicago auto met
with misfortune a few feet farther
down the hill The young LADY
who was driving lost control of
the machine for a moment and the
car went down into the ditch,
breaking a wheel None of the oc-
cupants was hurt and a new wheel
was soon put on the machine and
the tourists went on their way.
