James Handley, of Goodland. Killed When Car Turns Over.

Thomas Handlev, a Goodland restaurant owner, was fatally injured near Brook when the car in which he was driving turned turtle, breaking his neck. He lived but a short time. Handley had been in Brook for an hour or so, talking with his brother-in-law. When leaving Brook he started east, passing Percy Little, who was on the street. Handley was driving so unevenly that Little turned and watched him, and saw the car swerve to the south side of the road, and as it turned sharply it turned over. Little ran to the car and found Handley pinned .beneath it. The running board was across Handley s neck and face. His little son, who was in the car with him when the accident occurred, crawled from between the seats, where he had been riding whn they left town, and the protection of the seats probably saved his life. Handley was driving at about 20 miles ah hour when the accident occurred, but had no control of the car. It is said he had been drinking heavily and was in no shape to drive a car.
