PARIS PAST

and assess the possibility of the two injured men were taken to the hospital this morning after being examined by Dr. Marquis. Beacom has a fracture at the base of his skull, a broken right leg just above the knee, and has suffered from severe shaking. Although his condition is dangerous, it is not alarming, and there is hope for his recovery. Buckwell has three or four broken ribs, but his condition is not specified further Both the injured individuals are on the road to recovery. The two children of Mrs James Miller, who were also in the car, had a narrow escape. One of the children was thrown through a window but miraculously suffered only minor cuts. The other child, along with their mother, was thrown to the end of the car but escaped injury

According to those who were in the wreck, it was fortunate that the heavy truck and wheels left standing on the bridge did not overturn with the car. If they had, it would have surely struck someone and resulted in a fatality

Considering everything, the final outcome of the accident is less serious than it could have been. If the company had taken all the passengers at Paris instead of refusing tickets as they did, the list of injuries would have certainly been greater. The car has been severely damaged and will require complete rebuilding as a result of the crash.
