Chicago Auto Party In Accident Near Monticello.

A party of Chicago tourists, consisting of three men, two women and a baby, narrowly escaped death Sunwhen when the new Reo in which they were riding, skidded and went into the ditch a half mile north of Yeoman. The , party, who .would not give their names, were returning to Chicago from Frankfort when the car went into the ditch, probably due to a defective steering gear, and all the occupants pinned beneath. The driver extricated himself and then released the rest of the party. His efforts were exerted none too soon, as the car was soon a mass of flames. The driver sustained a broken ankle by the accident and the baby was slightly bruised, but otherwise none of the party were injured.
