The two men are seriously hurt but neither of the women seem to have suffered any great injuries. It seems that Sheriff Rector was at tempting to dodge a (log which was in front of his macliine ani that the rear wheels got hung in the ca r tracks and caused the rear tIres to explode. This so jarredi the car that it is said the sheriff threw on the brakes and the cat huined turtle, ,hrowing all four to the sti'eet. \Mr. I'lumlevy seemls 1to be the mIos;t seriously injiued of tie (rowd, his laI le ing b)aldly cit anu buised and it was' 1911jd,h his skill] Is fractur l. %li rtiff Ikcclor is aIso swri outsly huri-t tulrig from t wo severe oil hi, hei'(' ilt tl il t Ifiit ov er r iglJit i'y(e andi !It,, wov onil'lit' hawkof te beal.
