AUTO TURNS TURTLE; INJURIES SLIGHT

Ray Thompson and Harve Moore Escape Serious Injuries When Car Turns—Dick Woods in Wreck. Thursday evening just before sundown, Ray Thompson’s Ford car turned turtle near the Oscar Hauter farm southeast of town. Thompson and Harve Moore were in the car. Moore jumped from the car when he saw what was coming, but Thompson was not so fortunate and was pinned beneath the car.* Moore succeeded in raising the car enough to get him out and together they succeeded in righting the car and with the assistance of one of the local garages got it to town. Both of the men received injuries, but nothing serious. Moore is off duty today and is quite sore frofn his bruises. Thompson is staying at home, but his family reports his injuries of no consequence. The car escaped with a broken wind shield and other slight damage. Dick Wood, of Lafayette, was also in an accident, of a similar nature this morning, when his Ford upset about a mile north of town; but he was not hurt. The car was pulled into town with a broken windshield and wheel, which were repaired and he proceeded on his way to Lafayette.
