MT. AYR YOUNG MAN HAS FIGHTING CHANCE

Albert Teach, Son of Contractor, Fractured Several Ribs When'll Auto Turned Turtle. Albert Teach, 20 years of age, and son of Frank Teach, the subcontractor for the Mt. Ayr stone roads, Iles yat the point of death at the residence of Ed Harris in Mt. Ayr. It was this young man instead of his father who was Injured in the automobile accident Tuesday. Physicians in attendance think that his chances are limited, although they say that he has done very well so far. Young Teach was taking several workmen to the road Tuesday shortly before noon. They were riding in a Ford automobile and going at a lively speed. Teach went to guide the car around a chuck hole in the road a mile south of Mt. Ayr. The machine swerved and turned entirely over, alighting upside down. The other, men were thrown from the machine but Teach was caught by the steering wheel. Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, hastened to the scene of the accident and took the young man' to his home, where a Mt. Ayr physician attended him and called two Rensselaer doctors to assist him. It was found that several ribs, probably six, were broken and had perforated the pleura and the right lung. The air as drawn into the lungs passed through the tissue and into the cavity about- the lungs, causing him to bloat considerably. The ribs were drawn back into place and the outcome of the accident is very uncertain. Young Teach will remain. at the Harris home until there is some chaiige in his condition, and today there seems a somewhat more favorable chance for him to recover.
