MRS. O. S. PENROD BADLY INJURED

James Gilbert, of Remington, received a telegram from Crown Point Thursday evening, informing him that his sister, Mrs. O. S. Penrod, was in the hospital at that place badly injured. Mr. and Mrs. Penrod drove through here the Fourth on their way from Lafayette to Chicago and spent a short time in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Leopold. Mrs. Penrod had been in Lafayette visiting a sister and had driven to Remington. From here she telegraphed for Mr. Penrod and he came from Chicago to drive the ear on through to that city. No particulars have been received here except that when near Shelby the car went into the ditch and that Mrs. Penrod was so severely injured that she had to be taken to the Crown Point hospital. The Penrods were for some time residents of this city and he was a part owner in the Columbia Furniture Company.
