KENTLAND PEOPLE IN AN AUTO WRECK

William Noble and Others Injured When Car Turned Over East of Remington Sunday. An auto wreck occurred on the south road east of Remington about three-fourths of a mile, Sunday evening at about 6:30 o’clock, when a Ford driven by S. M. Noble, of Kentland, went into the ditch and turned over, pinning the occupants beneath the car. Mr. Noble is a merchant at Kentland. He is about 80 years of age and was driving the car. Apparently he had turned from the road to the grass and had skidded-into the ditch. Those who saw the scene of the wreck say that the machine must have alighted on the wheels in the ditch and the driver had endeavored to turn back to the road when it turned over. In the car with him was his wife, also Mrs. Catharine Largent and daughter, Mary, 6 years old, and Willie Noble, the 8-year-old grandson of the driver of the car.

The boy had his head cut. The little girl was injured in the back and apparently had internal injuries. It is feared she has a slight fracture of the skull. Mrs. Noble was injured on the right side and right arm and Mrs. Largent’s left side and arm and back were injured. All were taken to Dr. Besser’s hospital in Remington ancf it is expected will be unable to leave before Tuesday or later. The boy went home this Monday morning. Fred Gray, of Lochiel, happened along soon after the accident. Mr. Noble was dazed and was walking about in the road. All of the others were pinned beneath the machine. Mr. Gray succeeded in releasing the women and children and all were taken to Remington. While all were considerably injured it is probable that all will recover. The car was a 1909 Ford and was badly wrecked.
