After turning north from O street on the road lead ing Into Nehawka, there is a cement culvert at the foot of a small hill, the approaches thereto being a deep fill or rather a steep grade. At this point Mr. Ruhman lost control of the car and it plunged down the embank ment. By a miracle it did not tip over and It was necessary to drive the car through the Pollard orchard to get It back into the road. The roads were somewhat slippery at this place and he not being an ex perienced driver was the cause of the accident. Bring your welding: to us. Platts mouth Garage. Tel. 394.
