AUTO TURNED OVER FOUR WERE INJURED

Two Kentland Young Ladies With Emil Hanley and Jake Moore When Hudson Turned Over.

Judge Hanley’s new Hudson automobile suffered damage estimated at $250 and the four passengers in it were slightly injured when the car ran off the grade at a sharp turn 6 miles west of Sheldon, 111., Thursday night at about 9:30 o’clock. The car was being driven by the judge’s younger son, Emil, and Jake Moore had accompanied him to Kentland to call on Miss Mary Remsburg and Miss Ethel Bosch. All four were in the car when the accident occurred. They had expected to turn north when 6 miles west of Kentland. The grade there is narrow and careful driving is necessary to make it successfully. Emil was at the wheel and was driving, he thinks, at about 25 miles an hour. The turn was made but the car went so far to the edge of the grade that the wheels went off and the car turned entirely over and landed right side up in the ditch, which was about 5 feet deep. A hurried inventory proved that none were seriously injured, although Miss Remsburg had suffered a severely sprained knee and ankle. The bruises of the others were slight. The accident happened right at a farm house but no one could be aroused and it Was necessary for some of the party to walk a half mile to get assistance. The car had suffered a broken wheel, mashed radiator, torn and broken top, broken glass front and broken steering wheel. It was taken to Sheldon and later to Kentland, where Judge Hanley was called Friday to see the wrecked machine. Jake Moore came home Friday afternoon and is able to be at his post of duty in the House of Traub. 6mil remained in Kentland until this Saturday morning, when he drove the disabled car to Chicago, his father joining him at Thayer. The machine will be repaired at the Chicago branch of the Hudson company.
