A Ford touring car in which were riding Miss Catherine McCarthy, Miss Emma Knapp, Miss Jeanette Murphy and three Pierson brothers was forced from the highway and turned over in the ditch when they drove over to the side of the road to allow a car to pass from the rear. The passing car did not give the Pierson car enough, room when they came along side of them and caused the Pierson car to travel in the soft edge of the grade. The car turned over once and righted itself and after going a short distance turned over again. The top of the car was down which was re sponsible, in a great measure, for the fact that only one of the party, Miss Jeanette Murphy, was injured beyond a few scratches and bruises.
