Auto Skids in Sand; Four Hurt.

Lowell, Ind., Oct. 10.—An automobile accident near Thayer, on the road between Crown Point and Rensselaer, might have resulted in more of a disaster than it did but for the presence of mind of G. G. Schmidt, the driver. In the car besides Mr. Schmidt were his wife. Dr-Glen Bookwaiter and Miss Cora Hartman, all of Chicago. The machine skidded in the sand at a sharp turn and would have turned over but for the fact that Schmidt headed it straight for the ditch. All the occupants suffered more or less painful injuries to their limbs. The party was on its way from Chicago to Indianapolis.
