C. C. WARNER AND WIFE IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Car Skidded and Went Through Fence Near Reynolds—Suffered Lacerations on Their Faces. <*** Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Warner suffered some facial lacerations Tuesday afternoon at about 4:30 o’clock, when his auto skidded on a slippery stretch of road about 2 miles east of Monticello and ran through a woven wire fence that had one barbed wire at the top. It had rained slightly daring the afternoon and the road was quite slippery. Mr. Warner was not driving very rapidly but the car took a sudden twist at right angles and ran through the fence and about twenty feet into a field. The woven wire fence gave way but the barbed wire caught (hem both across the faces and cut several severe gashes. Mrs. Warner had one cut on the side of the nose, which penetrated through the eartilege. Their clothing was also somewhat torn. The car was uninjured except for a bent fender. Span after the accident occurred other autoists came along the road and gave the massistance and they returned to Monticello to have their Injuries dressed. ' They were later able to make the trip home, arriving here at about 9:30 o’clock Tuesday evening. They are very much gratified as were their many friends that the accident was no worse. Mr. Warner is the republican candidate for joint representative of Jasper and White counties and had been spending a few days campaigning In White county. &. The R-OH cars are equipped with demountable rims and an extra rim is furnished without extra charge with each car. This makes it possible for a lady to take a tour alone with pleasure, as she does not have to worry over the prospect of a blown out tire.
