' Auto Mishap Injures Two Two people were in satisfacto ry condition at the Klamath Val ley Hospital today as the result of injuries tliey received in one-cor accident on Highway 97, near Wocus, about 3 o'clock this morning. Oregon State Police reported. The injured were Dcmorle Jo seph Fitzpatrk-k, 23. Whittier, Calif , w ho was admitted to sur gery about 9 a m. with lacera tions and a dislocated hip, and Mrs. Joy Ann Crume, 21. Box 212, Chiloquin. The extent of Mrs Crume's injuries have yet to be determined, a hospital spokesman said. The accident occurred as the car was southbound along High way 97, near Milepost 2fi9. It went out of control, veered along a ditch bank and into a gravel pit, and went over an embank ment: finally coming lo a stop upside down about 53(1 feet from where it left the highway. Fitzpatnck was pinned in the automobile and remained there until Mrs. Crume, apparently thrown clear of the wreckage, went to the highway and s u m- moned assistance from a passing motorist. The vehicle was re moved from the scene by a local towlne company and its two oc cupants were transferred to Klam ath Valley Hospital by Peace Ambulance.

Firemen battled flames in grass near the lake for an hour be fore bringing them under con trol. At 6.53, firemen went lo a field off Lakeshore Drive.
