Careless Motorist
Causes Accident
Mr and Mrs. Roy Carr and Mr. I
and Mrs. Roger Can- and family
returned August 18 from a few
days visit at Casper with the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Carr.
Enroute home a passing motor
ist, when approaching the Carr I
auto, threw a pop bottle out of the
window and it struck the window
glass in the Carr vehicle and
shattered the glass so badly that
fine pieces showered the occu
pants of the car. Three members
of the group were taken to Valen
tine where it took the doctor some
time to remove shattered glass
from them. The Roger Carr baby
required the most treatment.
The Carr families had planned
to picnic at the Valentine park
enroute home but the excitement
of the mishap caused them to cur
tail their picnic plans.
