Ford Ditched And Quite Badly Damaged.

Charles Leavers Ford auto suffered considerable damage Saturday night when he ran it into a ditch when returning from Morocco, where he had taken Ralph Phillips, Herman Lange, Roy Burch, Robert Eldridge and Jesse Brown over to the carnival. He forgot about the turn in the road a short distance this side of Morocco, and, running at a speed of 20 to 25 miles an hour, went straight ahead into the ditch. The passengers were all thrown out but escaped with slight bruises except Eldridge, who received a sprained ankle. Charlie walked back to Morocco and got a car to go out after the others, and also telephoned to Rensselaer, to Harve Moore, who drove over and brought the party home. It was thought the damage to the car would be from SSO to $75.
