BIG BU1CK CAR RAMS
One ot the most peculiar auto accl
dents that ever happened In this
county and certainly a miraculous
one In that no one was killed or ser
iously Injured, says ths Medford
Tribune, occurred last night on the
Paoiflo highway In Phoenix.
Early In the evening iRoss Small
who had just purchased the second
hand Bulck six car formerly owned
by Ed. 'Lamport from the A, W.
Walker company started away In the
car with three other Ashland men In
eluding a Mr. Nixon, owner of the
Star garage in the city, for Aahland.
Qja they were speeding through Phoe
nix. Al Clements and Butter iMcClel
len In the former's Hup hug came
along the side road and turned Into
the (highway when the big 'Bulck oar,
which some claim was going at DO
miles an hour was upon them. The
Bulck struck the bug squarely amid
v ships and cllmed on It a-etraddle. The
force of the Impact hurled both cars
to one side of the road against the
small frame building used as the city
hall of Phoenix. The two lAehland
men In the front seat ot the Bulck
were hurled through the wtndHhleld
It Is certainly a miracle. that the
two men in the bug were not killed
but both escaped with minor cuts
and bruises as did the men in the
other oar. They are residents of
-Eagle Point. , ' .
. The spectacle of the telescoped
can, with the Bulck astride the bus,
: was viewed and commented on with
astonishment by the many people
who were passing by in autos In
both directions last night.
The bug 'Was a complete wreck and
the larger car was 'badly damaged.
