Losing control of ?tfce car f Gregory left the road and ran into a pile of slab wood in front of the residence of Jack Sims. After striking this wood the car turned over two or three times. In telling about the accident Edward Garris said that it happened so quickly that he could not tell exactly how it happened. "We struck something and I jumped," he said. Garris said that Gregory was driving at a fast rate of speed and that the other boys j kept pleading with him to drive slower. On the other side of Primus Gregory came close to going in a ditch and his companions shouted at him to watch out. He turned the car sharply to avoid going into the ditch and after doing so he lost control of the car. Ed-' ward Garris said that the machine kept swerving from one side of the road to another finally hitting the slab wood and turning over. It was then that he jumped and in doing r.o_ escaped serious injuries. Arthur Garris who was riding io the front 8??t with Gregory received a double fracture of the skull, a broken jaw, a broken Srm and fracture of the spine. His head was horribly crushed as the car had evidently struck his head during one of the times it turned ever. - (Gregory sustained a broken neck in the accident but lived until he had been taken to the Lancaster hospital. He also was bruised about the head and had received a broken arm. Oscar Phillips who was in the rumble seat of the car with Edward darris received a number of bruises-about the head and body. He was bleeding profusely when carried to the hospital where it was believed at first that he would not survive. Later reports indicate that he has a fair chance to recover.?Lancaster News.
