HEADON COLLISION NEAR CLOVERSWALE
As we go to press, a phone call informs us of a head-on collision near
Cloverswale when the coupe driven by Mac McConnell and a car driven by Fred
Rice of Adin came together.
McConnell sustained two broken ribs and Miss June Pratt who was riding with
him received a badly cut forehead. Rice and the occupants of the other
machine escaped without injuries.
Reports are that Rice will be given a citation for reckless driving.
A Cedarville man was advised recently: "Pull down your window shades when
you kiss your wife, I saw you from the street last night".
To which he replied: "Hah that’s one on you. I wasn’t even home last night!"
Warren C. Robinson left last Tuesday for Livermore, where he will enter the
Veterans’ Hospital to undergo treatment indefinitely. We hope he may recover
speedily and be back on the farm again soon.
Yes sir, you’ve probably heard it or read it a million times, more or less,
but because we think it clever we’re repeating it again – this Scotch
telegram from the Kansas City Star:
"Bruces hurt erased afford erector analysis too infectious dead."
The meaning which the word saving Scotch-man intended to convey was this:
"Bruce is hurt. He raced a Ford. He wrecked her. And Alice is too. In fat,
she is dead."
Fred Neasham, while lifting and helping to load the equipment belonging to
the West Coast Amusement Co., severely injured his back and has been
confined to his bed this week.
LOWELL AND MORGAN CARS COLLIDE
We inadvertently failed to mention the following story in last week’s issue
of the Record:
An automobile crash Monday evening at the north city limits of Lakeview
caused a shudder among Round-up crowds when it was learned that the cars
belonging to Chester Lowell of Fort Bidwell and Vancil Morgan of Paisley had
collided with eleven passengers in the two vehicles. All were badly cut and
bruised, but fortunately, as it turned out, none was dangerously injured.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowell had as guests in their car, Misses Audrey Monroe,
Florence Koughan and Adel Santiago, while Mr. and Mrs. Morgan had with them
their family of four children. The Morgan car had started toward their home
at Paisley when their light developed trouble and they fell in behind
another car to return to Lakeview to have the lights repaired.
Lowells were leaving the city to secure their grips at the hot Springs Hotel
making ready to start for home. They passed a car just north of the city
limits and for a moment did not see the unlighted car. On discovering it,
Mr. Lowell believed it was a car going in the same direction as his and
planning to pass it, turned to the left side of the road to go around but
discovering the car was coming toward him, turned back to the right. In the
confusion the cars came together with considerable force, resulting in much
damage to fenders and glass. Occupants of the two cars were severely shaken
and cut with flying glass but all escaped serious injury, it was discovered
after brief treatment at the Lakeview hospital. – Lakeview Examiner

NEWS NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK
There was a car wreck on the Read Grade Sunday, when a car while passing
another slid off of the Grade and rolled down the hill; the car contained
three men from Willow Ranch, who were badly shaken but not seriously hurt
was the word received here shortly after the wreck. Dr. Leithead was called
from Lakeview and he must have found that they were not seriously hurt for
they were sent to their homes.
