AUTO TURNED TURTLE.

A big auto driven by H. D. Jones of Chicago, accompanied by his wife and brother-in-law, turned turtle out by Zack Stanley’s, at the north side of town Sunday evening, caused by a defective wheel, and Mrs. Jones suffered a fracture of two ribs, the others escaping injury. One wheel of the auto was smashed in. The car turned over in the ditch, but fortunately there was enough space in the ditch under the wrecked car to save the occupants from fatal injury. The party left the car here for repairs and went on to Indianapolis Monday afternoon via rail.
