Yates Car In a Head-On Collision.

Ick Yates’ Maxwell car suffered damages to the amount of $75 and J. J. Eigelsbach has a cut lip and Mrs. John Eigelsbach is laid up today as the result of an automobile accident Sunday. The car was being driven by John Eigelsbach, with his ftaher in the front seat with him. The two Mrs. Eigelsbach’s were in the rear seat. They came to a bridge near Wolcott and stopped to let another car pass and the on-coming car failed to clear and a front end collision was the result. The force of the impact caused, the elder Eigelsbach to pitch forward through the windshield, the broken glass cutting his face. Mrs. John Eigelsbach was injured slightly and is confined to the house today. The radiator of the Maxwell car was crushed in and will have to be replaced with a new one. One of the headlights was also damaged badly.
