AUTO CAR TURNS TURTLE

Chicagoans Have a Disastrous Ending to Their Outing. Dyer, Ind , June B.—An aged Chicagoan was perhaps fatally hurt and five other persons, including two women and a ten-months-old baby, were flung headlong into the roadside when a speeding automobile skidded, struck a root and turned turtle on the highway three-quarters of a mile west of here. The party had left the family home for a spin across country. The auto was going at a high speed along the road between Dyer, Ind., and Chicago Heights, 111., when It seemed to lose its grip on the road. The wheels slipped, the heavy car loaded down with six passengers skated toward the aide of the road, lunged Into a protruding root and turned over.
