SIX IN A FORD WENT INTO DITCH

Charles H. Leavel and Fire Passengers Had Close Call From Rad Injury Saturday Night. Charles H. Leavel and a Ford full of young men went into a ditch last Saturday night at about 11:30 o’clock a mile east of Morocco. Mr. Leavel, who conducts an auto livery, had taken Herman Lange, Harvey Phillips, Roy Burch, Bob Eldridge and 'Jesse Brown over to Morocco to attend the carnival and they had started back and were running at a speed estimated from 20 to 30 miles an hour. Mr. Leayel had forgotten a turn and headed the car straight into the ditch. The driver and his five passengers were spilled out in all directions and all received a few bruises, while Bob Eldridge was the most seriously hurt, having received a sprained %nkle and other bumps. Mr. Leavel and one of the others walked back to Morocco, secured a car to come out and get the others and then had Harvey Moore come over and bring all home. The Ford was damaged to the extent of S6O to $75. Subscribe tor The Republican.
