Reynolds Men Narrowly Escape Death in Auto Wreck.

Dr. A C. Williams, son of Sheriff Williams, and Bert Johnson, both of Reynolds, narrowly escaped death Friday evening in an automobile accident two miles west of Battle Groud. They were about to cross a narrow bridge when a horse and buggy appeared. Dr. Williams, choosing between hitting the buggy or the iron girder of the bridge, chose the latter with the result that both men were thrown from the car. Johnson alighted on his head and was unconscious for a time. He was taken to his home in Reynolds, where he is said to be resting good and no apprehension of serious results are entertained. ,
