I Miss Oka P&ncQ&sty driving a fiuick touring car, and WUtiam ClarK of Brook, driving an E. M. F., collided Garage, this Saturday morning. Seated with Miss Pancoast was her father, A C. Pancoast, while Mr. Clark had his family with him. They were enroute to Kewanna to visit with relatives" over Sunday, while Miss Pancoast and her father were-on their way to his farm. / The accident did not prove very serious and none of the occupants of the two cars were injured. Miss Pancoast was on the right side of the street and was going west. Mr. Clark was on the same side of the street He undertook to pass to her right and she turned her car to the left to let him by, but Suddenly he veered his car to the right and they struck together. Miss Pancoast’s Buick escaped injury but the E w M. F. was considerably damaged. The front frame was bent, one lamp broken, the radiator slightly damaged and one wheel dished. None of the parts were seriously damaged and it required an'expense of only $2 to get the car in running order again. Miss Pancoast paid half the bill, although it was generally agreed that she was in no manner responsible for the accident.
