BAD AUTO ACCIDENT:
Auto Hits Idorse and Buggy Break
ing Horses Leg
A bad accident occurred about sev-
en o'clock on Thanksgiving night
about half a mile south of Belgrave,
when Mr. John Menzies' auto eollid.-
ed with Mr, David Hamilton's buggy.
Mr. Hamilton' was going south when
henoticed the auto swerve to his side
of the road and he pulled his horse
across the ditch to the fence but the
auto followed and 'crashed into the
horse and rig, breaking the animal's
legs and demolishing the buggy. Mr,
Hamilton was landed on top of the
engine and received' a few bruises and
a sprained ankle. . The horse had to
be shot and we understand the buggy
is not worth repairing. ,•
Just how the accident occurred•:is
beyond everyone unless it was that
the trees which Mr. Menzies had on
the sides of his autoeebeded his lights
or that the steering gear became
twisted. The auto was pretty badly
smashed, about the radiator.
