ROBERT SMITH INJURED
WHEN TRUCK TURNS TURTLE
The large truck owned and driven
by Robert Smith turned over into
the ditch near the town hall eight
miles north of O’Neill on Highway
No. 13, last Tuesday afternoon; Mr.
Smith suffered a badly lacerated
right hand which required more than
twenty stitches to close the wounds,
and a cut on a knee; Gene Kilpat
rick, who was riding with Mr. Smith
was uninjured. The truck was load
ed with young pigs; when it turned
over the pigs were thrown out and
uninjured: the truck was completely
destroyed by fire.
It seems that Mr. Smith was com
ing from the west onto the highway
and as he came down the incline to
ward the corner he discovered that
the pin had come out of the brake
rod so that he had no brake; he real
ized that he would have to turn one
way or the other or go headlong into
the ditch, so he decided to try and
turn to the right; the load of pigs
naturally jostled to the left side of
the truck and as a consequence the
load turned over.
