Three Injured in Auto Wreck At Lowell Wednesday Night.

Two young ladies and one man were quite severely injured in an auto spill near Lowell Wednesday night. It seems to have been a joy ride. The machine belonged to Lew Wpod, the well known Lowell baseball manager. It had been in the repair shop and Joe Whitaker, the machinist, was trying it out and had invited Miss Edna Mahler and her sister and Frank Erown to take a ride with him. They went out on the Cobe race course and are reported to have been running at a frightful rate of speed. East of the grave yard turn coming towards Lowell two teams were met and the driver tried to go around them and one wheel Went off the grade and the car was carried down the embankment with all four passengers. Edna Mahler and Brown were riding in the rear seat and were both thrown out. The former landed in a barbed wire fence and suffered a bad gash over the eye and across the cheek and a long gash down the neck and was otherwise cut and bruised. Is. required 24 stitches to close up the wounds and the young woman, who was one of the prettiest girls in Lowell, will be frightfully scarred. Miss Dean Mahler ana Frank Brown were considerably bruised, but Whittaker escaped injury. The car was badly wrecked.
