Wind Started Touring Car and It Went Over River Bank.

Everett Brown, of Barkley township, drove his Overland touring oar to town Monday and left it at the home of his father on McCoy avenue. He is certain he set the brake but the wind was boltwing at a rapid rate and the'car was headed slightly down grade and the /wind started the machine and it ran some 60 feet down the road and lunged over the channel of the old river. The fall was 10 or 12 feet and the car suffered considerable damage. The steering gear was bent, also one axle and the fenders. It required considerable work and the use of another machine to pull the car out of the old channel.
