One Person Injured
AS Car Overturns

Last Monday evening, while re-
turning from the Parent Teacher
convention at Winslow, the car of
w. e. Stratton turned over on the
grade about five miles this side of
Holbrook, almost demolishing the
car, breaking the collar bone of
Miss Larue Stratton and endanger-
ing the lives of seven other persons.
The car was travelling at a rate
of about thirty miles an hour
when one of the rear tires blew out
and through some cause the car
became uncomfortable and before it
could be stopped went off a grade
of about two feet, turned around
and was overturned.
1t was nothing short of a miracle
that the eight passengers escaped
with their lives, as all but two were
pinned under the wrecked car
