Automobile Rolls
Over on Gage Street

A Ford automobile, believed to
have been owned and operated by a
man named Poulin, turned turtle on
the north slope of Gage street at a
point almost directly in front Of the
Cameron store. Sunday morning, and
though the car was considerably
damaged the occupant escaped seri-
Gus injury most fortunately.
The car was proceeding south on
Gage street and when on the hill the
driver set the brakes with the spill re-
sulting. It is probable that the brake

so suddenly that It overturned. One
forward wheel was crumpled, the
top was badly crushed and much of
the glass was broken out of the car.
