FLORA AUTO TURNED TURTLE

Aged Lady Has Collar Bone Broken But Others Escaped. A Ford automobile driven by a Mr. Kingery of Flora turned turtle near the James H. Chapman farm in Union township Saturday night, and Mr. Kingery’s mother-in-law suffered a broken collar bone. In the machine at the time were Mr. and Mrs. Kingery. their four children and Mrs. Kingery’s mother. That the others escaped injury or death is miraculous. The party was coming south on the road leading to Rensselaer when the machine struck some loose gravel and skidded, finally turning over. Passersby assisted in righting the machine and the party was brought to this city where the elder lady’s injury was attended to by a local physician, and they then -proceeded on to their home.
