All Escaped Serious Injury Saturday Night When Car Turned Turtle North of Town. B, J. Moore’s big Jackson automobile turned completely over Saturday night at about 10:30 o’clock, near the H. W. Jackson farm, northeast of town, and two of the occupants of the car were under it when it went over. The other two passengers jumped and one of them suffered the most severe injury of the four. The passengers were Stewart Moore, John Bradddck, Howard Clark and Lloyd Pafks. Braddock was driving, Moore was seated with him in the front seat and Parks and Clark were behind. The car was headed for town, and Braddock was sending It over the road at about 30 miles an hour. He turned the car out'to pass a bugby, not seeing another a short distance behind. As he turned back into the road he saw the other buggy and gave the machine a quick turn to avoid hitting it. The car went into the ditch and turned turtle. Clark and Parks jumped arid the former received a severely spratrfed ankle. Parks was not injured.' Fortunately the others were not pinned beneath the car and were able to crawd out, practically without a scratch. The glass front of the car was broken, the fenders bent and some other damage dona It will cost about S3O to repair the car. Fortunately no funerals resulted.
