Ilolli Speeded I'p There was nothing to obstruct the observation of either driver and both claim to have seen the other's car approaching. Mr. Palmer said lie ' noticed the sedan coming down the road at a lively rate of speed, but presumed that it would slow down, as he had the right of way. He gave his machine more speed thinking he would be able to cross the road be fore Mr. Benson's car reached the crossing. But Mr. Benson had - the same thing In mind and as a result the big Pierce Arrow struck the Fori on the' left side and carried it fifty feet or more. When he saw that collision was inevitable Mr. Benson turned to the left and as the machines came together Ihe big car turned half way around and went into the ditch, landing on its side. It was com pletely wrecked and it is believed that the Ford was damaged beyond successful repaids. The mail carrier was bruised on one side of his face and across . the stomach as he was rushed against the steering wheel. If he is not internally Injured he will recover. Mr. Benson, although his car was wrecked the worst, escaped with out Injury. Happened at 5:30 O'cloek " The accident happened about five thirty last evening, and in less than twenty minutes nearly half the town was on the scene to view the wreck age. After satisfying himself that Mr. Palmer was safe and ussured 'him that he would be remunerated for deep.

In as many days. The evening previous, a man who refused to gle his name, met with an accident whlcn was even more serious than the one , last evening. From a statement "ie made at the doctor's office it seems that he was driving at a pretty hig'i speed when his car went off the pavement. In attempting to get back he turned too short and the machine turned completely over. Sleeping in the 'back seat was a little girl four years old. The other passengers were a woman and a seven year old boy. The girl's arm was broken, the-boy sustained a fractured leg and the woman was terribly lacerated and bruised. The driver escaped withiut injury. Further than this they refus ed to make a statement, and the man positively refused to be Interviewed by a reporter.. He said he had rela tives whom he did not want to know of the accident. There was talk of holding the party until they did make an explanation.
