Automobile accidents here on Sun
day added two deaths to the appalling
toll of life chronicled throughout the
country during the weekend, the first
to pay the toll being Mrs. Conner c.
Davies, aged "a, of this city, who was
thrown from a car driven by J.. A.
Shuler, on the Powell road early in
the morning, and the second being
Pat Florida, aged So, of Meeteetse,
when a car in which he was riding
plunged over the embankment on the
road leading to Greybull, at the ex-
IRENE southeast limit of town. Mrs.
Davies, her chest crushed. and one
arm almost torn from her body, died
twenty minutes after being placed in
the Whitlock hospital at Powell, but
Florida, his skull crushed, was dead
when picked up.
Three others, Stanley Langrin, Miss
Mabel Anderson, and Miss Vaun Be-
atty, occupants of the Shuler car were
injured, but Shuler came through the
ordeal without a scratch. Langrin's
arm was broken, Miss Beatty suffered
a fractured back, and Miss Anderson's
hip was injured.
Mrs. George Weller, who was in
the Florida car, has a fractured skull,
while Miss Marien Swain, who was
driving the car. suffered a broken
wrist and internal injuries.
According to Shuler, his al was
making probably forty miles an hour
Just before it reached the Frannie
canal, not far from Powell. Noticing
that the road vas somewhat slippery,
he applied the brakes just before he
reached a slight incline over the a n
al. The road curves just at this point
and the car, leaving the road, plunged
across the canal, turned over. threw
its five occupants to the ground, and
then uprighted itself about thirty-five
feet from the place it left the road.
Recovering himself Immediately,
Shuler saw his four companions lying
in the canal bed. Langrin, though
severely injured, arose to his feet, fol-
lowed by Miss Anderson, but Miss
Beatty was so badly injured that she
could not help herself. Running to
q farm house nearby. Shuler tele-
phoned for assistance from the Pow
ell hospital, then returned with the
owner of the ranch to aid his injured
friends.
Mrs. Davies was taken to the farm
house first. and upon the arrival Of
DR.. Whitlock. she was taken to Pow
ell.

seat of the Shuler car, Miss Beatty
was carried to the house without de-
lay, Langrn and Miss Anderson. who
