The young ladies were crossing the road from the Hines corner and going toward the bank when the accident occurred. Miss Kays has several bruises, scratches and a broken leg below the ankle. She was taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Fred Arendt of San Pierre, and is reported to be doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Miss Renfreu was injured internally, having suffered two broken ribs and the puncturing of the lung makes her suffering great. Dr. Johnson of the lakeside hospital was called in to aid Dr. Solt.
