Accident W ithout
Serious Ending
T w o Coquille ladies— Mrs. L . H .
Hazard and Mrs. P. W. C ulver— were
very fortunate yesterday that they
were not more seriously injured than
they w ere when th e ir car overturned
near Newport yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. C ulver was driving Mrs. H az­
ard's Chevrolet and they had start­
ed for Portland, making a side trip
to Toledo to see M rs. Hale Eubanks

ing Toledo, and on a slippery, curving
road, in some manner the ca r got off
the payment and flipped over end for
end, coming to rest w ith the four
wheels sticking straight up.
The door on the d rive r’s side was
mashed in and they w ere unable to
get the other door open and w ere
pinned in the coupe, w ith gasoline
dripping on them u ntil passersby
came to th eir rescue. The engine
stopped when the car turned over,
otherwise there could have bqen a
verious serious fire.
M rs. Hazard received ^ very severe
