Wreck on Kings Hill Saturday

Three persona man and his wife
and the driver of the automobile
were injured last Saturday morning
at a point on the Oakland-Accident
highway in the vicinity of Kings Hill,
three miles north of Oakland. All
were treated at the office of DR.. M.
c. Hinebaugh.
The man and wife Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman burst, were the more seri-
ously hurt than the driver of the car,
Henry Beeman. Mr.. burst sustained
a dislocated shoulder and number of
bruises while his wife was painfully
bruised about her arms and also suf-
fered an injury to her elbow. One
of Beeman's fingers was nearly sew
cred as he was catapulted through
the windshield of his car after it had
been crowded off the road by a truck
and ran into telephone pole.
1t is said that the Beeman car had
attempted to pass the truck and that
the driver of the latter failed to give
the right of way but on the other
hand kept steadily to the left and as
a result the wreck occurred.
The injured persons were brought
to Oakland by Mr.. Sylvanus Schloss-
nagle who happened to be near when
the accident took place.
