Eigelsbach figured in an auto collision just south of Wolcott Sunday evening about M:3O o’clock. John was driving lek Yates’ Maxwell car and as they approached a bridge they slowed down to meet another car. The on-coming auto possibly failed to give its share of the road and...™.,, hit the front end of the Yates car, i although both drivers may have been partly to blame and the lights may Wave been partly to blame. The two men were in the front seat and the two ladies in the redr. When the cars came together the elder Mr. Eigelsbach was thrown forward into the windshield, which broke and cut his face in several places. Mrs. John Eigelsbach was injured slightly and shocked to such, an. extent that she was confined to" the house throughout Mon--day. The radiator of the car was also damaged but they)came home under their own power. Thq other car, which was from Lafayette, and was driving quite fast, was also damaged considerably by the impact. It is not Khriy that any damages will be asked from either party.
