O. K. Rainier Was in Auto Wreck Near Wolcott.

- As he was returning from his farm at Chalmers Thursday afternoon, 0. K. Rainier had a head-on collision with an automobile just outside of Wolcott. As Mr. Rainier was driving along he overtook two loads of hay and as they were at the left side of the road he started to go around them on the right side and in doing so he collided with an automobile loaded with passengers. The machine hit was very badly damaged, but the occupants were not hurt. A lady in the machine became very much but when told-by - Mr. Rainier that he was to blame for the accident and that he would pay for the repairing of the car she became perfectly composed. The damage to Mr. Rainier’s car consisted of a bent front axle, a broken windshield and a few minor breaks.
