Widger was recovered with stappling hooks about five feet beyond the c: His’ head gave evidence of 4 severe blow which indicated that he might have been killed or very badly injured when the car struck the ice. Two men were drowned and two were seriously injured last night when the automo- bile in which they were rid- ing plunged over a 15 foot embankment into the Mis- souri River, about 18 miles northwest of the city. The automobile was driven straight off a prairie road over the embankment, the driver evidently not knowing that he was so close to the river. Jack Reed, half-breed In- dian, about 35 years old, and Bud Widger, 14-year-old sten- son of Ed Widger of near Me- noken were carried throug}: the ice and drowned. - Ed. Widger, the father, and Ar- nold Peterson, 21, of Brad- dock, were thrown to the ice. Both ae badly injured. Peter though badly injured. managed by herculean efforts to pull himself up the almost -perpendicular bank and made his way @cross the bottoms to the house of Martin Bur- gess, who called a physician. Au- thorities also were notified and Sher- Deputy Sheriff Phelps went to the scene of the accident. At 2 o'clock this morning it appeared hopeless to search for the bodics during the night, and the search was abandoned until about 10 o'clock this morning. Were Hunting. The party, in a Ford touring car, had been trapping skunks and hunt- ing rabbits. For a time, it is under- stood, they were at Reed's rhack, owned by Marty Brown. At nignt they hunted rabbits, and probably after 9 o'clock they drove toward the river. The road on which they drove toward the river has been abandoned, because the current of the Missouri had cut into the bank. Since the members of the party were shooting rabbits from the car, it is believed that car was driven off the, bank without the slightest warning of im- pending danger. The automobile struck the ice radi- ator first. The impact drove the ma chine through four inches of ice, ca rying Reed and the Widger boy un- der the ice with it. Peterson and the elder Widger, in the rear seat, were thrown clear of the car. The elder widger was thrown about 3 feet out on the ice but didnot gu through it. Peterson was throgn about 12 feet, Though Peterson was suffering from a compound fracture of the afm and Widger from more serious injuries, they tried to break the ice and failing climbed up the bank by herculean efforts, Many Join In Search © Farmers and authorities joined in a search at the scene of the accident, but no trace was found of the men and the conclusion appeared inevita- ble that the men were drowned. It was planned to dynamite the ice to- day, and it was thought that the bodies would be found. There was believed to be no current in the river at this point. The water is about five feet deep. The car was owned by Peterson. St. Alexius hospital. fracture of the upper nose was broken, his head bruised and it is feared he has suffered in- ternal. injuries of serious nature. His clothes were wet and he suffer- ed from cold.
