MAN IS Him AND
ANH CAR WRECKED
CRA3H0N HIGHWAY
Tuesday evening about 4:00 o'clock
there was an anto wreck on the high-
way near the Pythian Horae Vhich
resulted in one man having his -shoul-
der broken, as jrell as a wrecked car
with one wheel torn off. Th$ wreck
occurred almost at the exact spot
where the bad wreck of Monday night
took place, when two cars were de-
molished and three persons injured. >
pie names of the persons involved
this second wreck are not known.
Indeed one of the parties made sure
that no one got his name or his car
number. The wreck occurred when
one car attempted to pass around and
between two others. An Overland car
containing four or fire persons was
'ditched with the above named results.
A man driving a Dodge, which waa tjic
car that struck the Overland, stopped
his car, got out and made a hurried
inspection. Satisfying himself that
no one was killed, he •got in his car
again and drove hurriedly away, leav-
ing the wrecked party to help them-
selves.
