One of John Knapp’s Ford autos driven by Art Battleday ran into the ditch Tuesday evening near the small bridge on the .poor farm road, resulting in the breaking of two wheels and the windshield and other miner payts of the machine. Battleday, except for a few scratches, was uninjured, while the Smith boy, who was with him, was thrown against a fence post breaking it squarely in two, and resulting in a bad shake-up for the lad. Battleday says the steering gear locked on him and that he was not running very fast, the machine' swerving and owing to the disabled steering gear, he says, he was unable to control the machine. Quite a strip of fence was torn down by the erratic course of the auto.
