Ralph Earhart had a rather
bad but exciting experience
this week when he started out
for Sela, Washington to pick
up his son James who was va
cationing with his grandpar
ents.
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.
