AUTO OVERTURNS-OCCU-
PANTS ESCAPE SIC.
RIOUS INJURY

Driving at a high rate of
speed on Sunday evening, be-
tween six and seven o'clock,
Fred Jones, colored, of Rising
Sun, failed to negotiate the
curve in the road, east of town,
at the small stream that the
State road crosses, just beyond
the entrance to the farm of
Mrs. Sarah ]. Kirk.
The auto struck the abut-
ment at this point, took a fly
ing leap from the road and
landed upside down, in the
field, on the bank of the small
creek.
Fred and his companion,
Pearl Rice, were thrown clear
of the wreckage, escaping mi
raculously from death, and suf-
fering nothing more serious
than sundry very severe cuts
and bruises. about the head,
face and body. They were
taken to Union Hospital, Elk
ton, for treatment, but were
able to leave that institution on
Wednesday.
The accident serves to dem
onstrate the fact that gasoline
and whiskey will not mix.
