Austoists Ditehed While Returning From Cedar Lake.

Sunday evening while returning homo 'from an automobile trip to Cedar Lake in the Ford auto that Kanne Bros, recently purchased of Sheriff Hoover. 'the lights on Che machine suddenly went out when the car was swiftly approaching the first turn, just north of Demotte, and the driver, Ed Kanne, was unable to control the car longer and the machine swerved from th* road and into the ditch, and turned over on one tilde, throwing Che occupants with great force onto the ground. Vern Haas, John Knox, Ed Kanne and Cyrus Raas were in the car when the accident happened, and none of them seem to know just how things happened next. Kanne was the most seriously hurt, his limb being forced through the glass windshield, and a piece of the glass penetrated the calf of the leg shattering the bone. Drs. Hemphill and Washburn cared for the limb after the party reached town, and they stated that the w’ound might prove very serious They removed the glass from the wound and with it some cloth and some dust that seemingly was on the glass when it entered the flesh Vct-i Haas was also injured in the turning over of the car, but it is not now thought that either his nor Kanne's Injuries will prove to be more than annoying because of physical pain.
