August 15, 1913- A Fortunate Auto Accident
Axel Breaks on Sylvester Carl While Returning from Kellogg Saturday
An auto accident that proved the luckiest of anything we have heard of this season happened on the Kellogg road, about 10 miles north of here Saturday evening about 7 o’clock, when the axel on the left front wheel of E. L. Sylvester’s car broke and threw the car with its load to the side of the road.
Byrl Sylvester, accompanied by Curt Timm, drove to the river road to meet his mother, who had been visiting the Cities, and were on the return trip. Near the Lydon farm where they were running up a light grade at a moderate speed, the wheel snapped off, throwing the big car to the side of the road. At this point there is quite an embankment on the side of the road and the skidding car landed against this, sliding along of nearly two rods, tearing the fender off and preventing the car from turning turtle. When the machine stopped it looked as though it had been ran there intentionally to support if from going over. Owing to the sudden impact of the car tearing into the bank, Mrs. Sylvester, who occupied the back seat alone, was thrown into the air. As she came down, she landed in the hood, just missing by a hair breath of being precipitated to the hard road. The accident happened so sudden that none of the occupants had time to become frightened, but after it was over there was a pretty scared bunch. Had it occurred at any other point in the road, we fear there would have been a sad story to relate, for only the embankment prevented the car from turning completely over.
The party went to a farm house and telephoned for another car to come after them and were soon safe at home.
Byrl Sylvester left Monday to join a party of fraternity brothers on a two weeks outing at Edgewater, Wisconsin.
