Automobile Collides With Buggy, Taking Off Wheel.

Mrs. Steve Kohley and two little children were thrown from their buggy in front of Roths’ butcher shop Sunday about 11 o’clock while attempting to get out of the way of an automobile. Mrs. Kohley had driven to the watering tank and was just leaving when Van Moody came along in an automobile from the east. The street is obstructed at that point by the sand in front of the Horton building and he was goiAg very slow. Mrs. Kohley evidently did not notice the automobile and turned out in front of it to let another buggy pass. The Moody boy saw the danger and stopped his machine but not until it struck one of the wheels of the buggy, tearing it off. Mrs. Kohley and two children were thrown out, but luckily were not injured.
