COnawayS in Accident.

After a period of 20 years of driv-
ing an automobile A. w. Conway
figured in his first accident the day
before Christmas. He, accompanied
by Mrs. Conway, MaviS and 'the
dog" Friday afternoon was enroute
to the home of Mrs. Conaway's par
ents near Bemidji when the accident
occurred. While approaching the
peak of sharp hill eight miles this
side of Isle, the Conway auto came
upon car driven by an old gentle
man of the Isle community. The Isle
car was on the left hand or rather
wrong side of the road and there was
nothing left to do but hit it. That
was done and the Conway car was
hurled into the ditch and then into
a poplar thicket.
No damage was done to the body
of the car but the running board,
tenders, left front wheel, tire, bum
per and steering wheel suffered
greatly from the shock, with the
result that considerable financing will
be required to replace the damaged
parts. However, insurance satisfac-
torily covers the loss and fortunately
no one was injured seriously. The
Isle car was damaged but slightly
as it was struck but glancing blow
and still remained on the road.
With a delay of about two hours,
the Conaways continued their trip
to the parental home and possibly
little more turkey was consumed
as a result of the event.
