AUTO TAKES RIDE
IN BIG MUDDY RIVER

An auto accident occurred Thursday
morning at the Muddy river which
might easily have proved serious. It
seems that the chauffeur with two
lady passengers forgot that the bank
of the Big Muddy was so close and
when he discovered the fact it was
too late and the front wheel slipped
over the bank and the car did the
rolling act coming up on its wheels
in the river. The man driver was
considerably shook up during the
tumble, but the ladies escaped with
nothing but a bad scare.
The car was hauled out by a trac-
tor and extensive repairs viii be ne
cessary to bring it back to its former
condition.
