Motor Car Wrecked Near Wolcott.

Dr. Turfler and Scott Cl e:-tnut were in a motor car wreck near Wolcott last evening and escaped with only a few scratches. While taming at a merry clip the car ran into some loose gravel and was overturned. Chestnut was thiown several feet and alighted right side up and was not hurt. Dr. Turfler was pinned under the car by the legs, but Chestuut was able to raise the car enough for him to release himself and his injuries were light. The oil caught fire from the lamps, but the blaze was smoti.e ed out before it gained much headway. Two of the wneels of the car were -unasked to splinters and new oneswill have to be secured. Mr. TurCer telephoned to Rensselaer for assistance and a car and extra wheels were sent to his relief, and he was able to return home in his own car. ,
