Connected with It could be a gymnasium, which could be used for basketball and other Indoor amusements, which are helpful to school pupils.

Jamie 'Willis was fined $5 and costs, amounting to $7.50, Saturday for exceeding the speed limit. The affidavit was sworn out by N. Littlefield, past whose house Willis is said to have been speeding fails car. 1 , ,Wreckless auto driving should be stopped and there are several persons who race their cars with utter disregard of the law and with no respect for the rights of others on the streets. If this wrecklessness should result in the killing of a child some time it would be hard to restrain the people from taking the law into their own bands. There is no occasion for great speed within the city limits and it should only be resorted to by doctors on the most urgent cases. The officers having started the prosecutions should make them general and autoists were given sufficient warning by the cases several months ago.

CAR TURNED TURTLE; A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.

Mrs. H. D. Jones Suffers Fracture of Two Ribs In Accident Occurring Sunday Evening. A Fiat car drivenby the owner, H. D. Jones, a Chicago real estate dealer, and in which his wife and her brother, E. H. Zeigler, were riding, was overturned and quite badly wrecked Sunday evening at about 7 o’clock, at the northern outskirts of Rensselaer. One of the front wheels of the car was broken and apparently the flange about the hub' was defective, although all the wheels were new, having just been placed on the car before this trip was begun.

When near the residence of William Coen, on north road, the car struck a large rrak in the road, and swerved to the right. Mr. Jones was unable to control its movements and it ran straight across the ditch and turned turtle. Mr. Jones and Mr. Zeigler were seated in the front seat, Mrs. Jones was seated behind. The car is a large seven-passenger machine, and as it struck the ditch it turned entirely over, and rested on its top across the ditch with the three passengers on the inside. Fortunately for them tne car bridged the ditch and there was some eighteen inches of space in the ditch beneath the tgr. They all fell into this space and escaped serious injury. Mrs. Jones suffered the fracture of two ribs on the left side and all of the party were some bruised. They were brought to Rensselaer and all left on the train for Indianapolis this afternoon. The car was placed in the Maxwell garage and a new wheel was sent for. The car is of foreign make and consequently more difficult to get repairs for.

Mr. Jones states that he was not driving fast and that he is no novice either at driving an autd., Himself and wife and her brother were oh their way to Indianapolis to attend the races and while they are disappointed at the misfortune they met, they are all mighty glad that the accident did not result worse for them. Mr. Jones said, “It is almost a miracle that we were not ail killed. Had the car not bridged across the ditch it seems that we should have ail been pinned be neath it and crushed to death.’’

Auto Accident At Montmorenei Results in Woman’s Death.

An auto accident at the overhead bridge which crosses the Big Four and Lake Erie railroad tracks near Montmorenci, resulted in the death Saturday night of Mrs. William P. Me Ewen, of Raub. Her sister, Mr®. W S. Minier, of Freeland Parjc, suffered a severe scalp wound. Mr. Mini?r had four ribs fractured and Mr. McEwen, who was driving the car, escaped with but slight injuries. Mr. McEwen was an experienced driver and was evidently going along at a rapid clip. They were on their way from Earl Park to Crawfordsville, to see her father, who was very sick. The Lafayette Morning Journal says of the accident: The steep incline and the sharp turn to the left as the bridge is reached were made in safety, but the dart-.ness of the night and Mr, McEwan’s unfamiliarity with the road were fatal, for he saw the sharp turn to the right as the bridge was crossed too late, and the car plunged through the fence hnd down a twenty foot embankment, turning over several times as it went down and alighting upside down, Mrß. McEwan, who was in the front seat with her husband, was caught under the top of the seat as the car dropped. Her neck was broken and her side crushed. Mrs. Minier and Mr. McEwan were thrown clear of the car as it fell, but Mr. Minier was caught under it and sustained several fractured ribs, .but bis injuries are, not serious. The automobile, which was badly damaged was hauled to a nearby farm house.
