High School Girls in Dangerous Accident

An accident that might have been fraught with very serious results occurred to three high school girls last Tuesday morning. They were Misses Velma Ball, Loraine Holliday and Neva Duncan. They were driving on Pine Street near the Jamison home en route to school when an axle of the buggy broke and the horse ran away turning the vehicle over. All three were spilled out and Miss Holliday was somewhat crippled, the others escaping injury except to their nerves.
