The Ford in a New Act.

While returning home from Rensselaer last Saturday afternoon in a Ford car, Charles Osbun, Ed Brenneman and Ben Monthei met with an accident which again demonstrates the versatility of the Ford machine. Some distance out of Rensselaer in passing a carriage going in the same direction, there is a deep ditch on each side of the road at this point, and just as the car got along side of the carriage it suddenly left the road, jumped the ditch and rolled clear 'SVer and half-way over again before it stopped in its mad plunge. The three occupants had a wonderful escape from serious injury or death. As it was Mr. Osbun and Mr. Monthei escaped with only slight bruises across the back and received three bad scratches across one side. The car was only slightly damaged, the windshield being broken and one fender bent.-r—Francesville Tribune.
