Woman Badly Injured In Auto Accident Saturday.

An automobile accident which occurred in front of the James H. Chapman farm in Union township Saturday evening resulted in the injury of the mother of Mr. and Mrs. Kingery, of Flora, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Kingery, four children and the mother-in-law were coming south on the north road leading into Rensselaer when they ran into some loose gravel which so suddenly retarded the speed of the machine that the rear end waS' thrown to one side and the car turned completely over. How the uninjured parties escaped without being killed is hard to figure out. The mother-in-law had a collar bpne broken and should have been taken to the hospital, but the man in charge is reported to have been interested in the marketing the product of the high priced corn that has been selling and was therefore quite indifferent to the pain of his mother-in-law. ’ Her injury was attendeff by a local physician, and the car having been but little damaged, the party proceeded on their way to Flora.
