ern part of st. Cloud. There is a
highway stop" sign at the inter-
section of Seventh and Ninth. He
stopped the Ford coach. CHANGING
to his right he saw another car apr
preaching, apparently on the left
side of the street. Naturally Mr..
Arens expected from the location
of the oncoming car, that the driv-
er intended to turn onto the street
where he and his family were To-
Gated, and he started across the
intersection. +
The ;Arens' car was almost entira-
ly across. the intersection when 1t
was struck by the other car, at the
rear end. The impact was so strong
that the Ford was turned over on
it's side. -.- ...s
Little Barbara was riding in the
rear seat of the car, playing with
her dolls. The collision threw her
through the window of the rear
door which was closed. She laRd-
ed face down with her little abdo-
men against the curb and the car
on top of her. Neither Mr.. or Mrs.
Arens were thrown out of the car,
or injured.

there was a six-inch cut on her
throat over the juglar vein and she
was badly lacerated across her
loins; her right leg was skinned
from the knee to her foot, and
there were many bruises all over
her body.
She was hurried to the new st.
Cloud hospital. Mrs. Arens re-
manned with her daughter and Ted
continued his journey to this city.
He returned to st. Cloud Sunday
afternoon and remained over night.
