AUTOMOBILES CRASH HEAD ON.

*4 Dr. Kresler, wife and babe were coining home from a professional call yesterday about 1 p. m., in the doctor’s auto. Jake Cline of Morocco was going home from here at the same time, and they met at the Clouse corner 3 miles south of town. There is a hedge at this point and the doctor coming from the west couldn't see Jake and Jake couldn’t see the doctor but they soon realized they w’ere present. Jake’s machine knocked the left wheel of doc’s machine into splinters and threw the babe from the mother’s arms onto the front fenders of the right wheel, but it escaped with slight bruises. Doc’s machine* broke the steering device of Jake’s machine and they were running slow too. It will take several dollars to repair the machines.
