Two Automobiles In Collision— Fifty Dollars Damage Done.

While maneuvering with their machines in front of the Maxwell garage this Monday morning about 7:30 o’clock, Dr. S. Herbert Moore, driving his Overland, and D. E. Grow, in his Ford, “got together,” so to speak, resulting in considerable damage to the Ford car. Both cars were going very slow. Mr. Grow was driving east and Dr. Moore was turning his machine around in the street. He seemed to be giving very little attention to where he was going and ran against the Ford from the side. Dr. Moore’s car was not damaged, but the front axle on the Ford was twisted, also two torsion rods were bent and a fender torn off. It is probable that a new axle will have to be bought before the machine can be used. The damage amounts to about SSO.
