He had his small son, Char les, two years old and a neph ew, Kim Earhart with him and stopped in Prairie City to get another son Ralph, Jr. The group had planned on going on to Washington when Earhart hit a large mule dear badly damaging his car. Needless to say the deer which weighel about 250 pounds came out on the losing side. None of the people in the Earhart car were injured. Earhart was able to “limp” home with his car after doing some on the spot repairs. How ever, he was unable to bring his visiting son home but he will be returned by his grand mother this week-end.
