A Hudson roadster, occupied by one man and two young women, chance acquaintances. cut up a series of sensational capers on the Farm- ington road yesterday afternoon when the big car skidded, wobbled and overturned. The momentum was so great, however, that after turning turtle, the machine again righted it- self. Miraclously none of the oc- cupants was seriously injured. al- though the two girls were slightly cut by flying glass. The heavy top of the car, although it was demon- ished, acted as a fender and doubtless saved the passenger from more seri- ous injuries. Dr. J. C. Tanner Gave First Aid.
