Mrs. Hippie suffered a severe shock and her left hand was injured. The child’s right hip was thrown out of place. The accident happened on the Red Trail, just opposite the camping “grounds about two. miles east of the city, about 10.0’clock last night. Other people in automobiles heard the crash and.quickly drove up. The motorcycle, which was equipped with a side-car in which Mrs. Hippie and the child were riding, was smashed. It was thrown off on the north side of; the road. Mr. Hippie lay under the wreckage. Mrs. Hippie was about 10 feet away, clasping her little threc| and a half-year-old girl in her arms. FE. J.

This ‘arm’ ranged in width from about a mile to fifty or sixty miles.
