Automobile Turns Turtle While on Way to Ade Dance.

The Mrs. M. B. Alter automobile turned turtle while on the way to the Ade dance Monday night, and three of the passengers received injuries of a slight nature. The accident happened just before the car reached Ade. The car contained the driver, Hugh Kirk, Merle Porter, Belle Laßue and Edna Hauter. The night was dark from the approaching storm and* the lamps had gone out a few minutes before the accident happened. The car came to a turn In the road and the driver, thinking the turn was in the opposite direction, turned the wrong way. He saw his mistake before the car struck the fence, and In turning suddenly to avoid running into the fence, the car was overturned It was a covered car, and this no doubfl. prevented more serious accident. The only injury suffered by the car was the breaking of the glass in front. Help came out from Ade and the car was righted and proceeded on to its destination. Mr. Porter had a finger dislocated and elbow scratched; Miss Hauter had her arm bruised, and Miss Laßue received a black eye. The accident happened about nine o’clock.
