Lowell Amateur Gets Some Injuries. Lowell, Ind., June s.—Harry Chambers of Grassmere went to Chicago Saturday to drive his new Chalmers Detroit 30 automobile home. • He bought it last week, and rode home in it wtih a driver. They had some trouble on the way and after they got home Chambers attempted to crank it up. The carbureter flooded and the crank kicked, striking Chambers in the eye and making a scalp wound. Then the machine caught fire. The flames were smothered after a fight with sand. The machine was badly damaged.
