TWO AUTOS COLLIDE
 
When a man has a narrow escape and comes out unhurt, he feels how blessed it 
is to be living.  This was the experience of E. A. Blair last Tuesday 
afternoon when he made a sudden connection with a Buick Six and was landed 
over the curb right side up unhurt on the parking.  Mr. Blair was driving his 
Chevrolet and was coming in from the east on 1st Avenue South and when at the 
corner by the Methodist Church a Buick Six, driven by a stranger, approached 
from the north at a a good rate of speed and was unnoticed by Mr. Blair in 
time to stop.  Those that saw the collision say that the left hand pigeon wing 
cut by E. A. in an attempt to avoid the smash would have been worth thousands 
to a film company as comical stunt for the screen.  He was hit however, in the 
rear and boosted over the curb and with but little damage to the car and none 
to himself.  The Buick was not so fortunate as it too was varied from its 
course and also jumped the curb into a tree, smashing one fender and landing 
up against Mr. Alspach's garden fence.  It was a fortunate affair after all as 
no one was hurt.
