The Cairo Messenger
Last Tuesday night when returning from a picnic at Lake Iamonia three young 
ladies and two young men were involved in a "Ford" accident.

Walter Blair Roddenbery was driving the car.  The other young people were 
Misses Helen Lewis, of Camilla, Lota Speer, of Leslie, and Sarah Ledford and 
Mr. John S. Speer.  The lights on the car had burned out and while attempting 
to follow a car which was only guided by a flashlight Walter Blair was mislead 
and ran off into a deep gulley.  The car turned sideways, but the occupants 
were not severely injured.  Miss Speer got caught under the car top and 
received several scratches and bruises.  Miss Sarah Ledford is suffering from a 
sprained ankle.  The other occupants were not hurt in any way.

The accident occurred between Iamonia store and Beachton.  It was not the 
result of any reckless driving; when the car turned Walter Blair was not going 
over twelve miles per hour.
