Chicago Tribune Account of the Rensselaer Mix-Up.

A party of Rensselaer, Ind., race enthusiasts piled three Buick touring cars in the ditch six miles northwest of Vlrgie, Ind., and footed It to their seats in the “8” curve grand stands. This was another early morning smashup attended by miraculous, escapes from fatal injury. Dr. F. A. Turfler and B. K. Zimmerman of Rensselaer were leading the trio of cars over a stretch of rough country road when the steering gear of Turfler’s car became unmanageable. He slowed down, but too suddenly for the cars behind. A young woman drove the second machine in which were George Terwllliger and family and Harvey Wood and family. It crashed into the forward car and no more than landed before the rear machine, in which were F. C. Leak and James Chapman and family, joined the pile with sufficient momentum to turn the entire tangle over into the ditch. .Not a member of the party escaped without a bruise/ but none were seriously hurt. The above is Interesting reading if not correct. None of the party were hurt and the Turfler machine was not run into, the mishap to it having occurred before the arrival of the other machines. The three machines were bound for r t the races at an early hour and the Turfler party had time to drive overland to Thayer and take the milk train to Lowell, after storing the disabled machine at a near by farm house. - ■/ . ~ r
