MOTORCYCLE RIDERS PILE UP

Devere Zea of this city and Ray Anderson of Newton township, son of Mrs. Emil Johnson, were enjoying a motorcycle ride south of the city Sunday. Anderson’s machine was in the lead and when they were a short distance of the college the front fork broke and machine and rider went down, Zea did not have time to turn out and piled up on top of his companion. Anderson suffered a broken arm and numerous bruises and his machine was badly damaged, but Devere escaped with a bad cut on one knee and slight damage to his machine.
