Sheriff Stewart was called as soon as the accident occurred and went at once to the scene of the wreck. There was no evidence that the driver of the car was intoxicated or that any of the party had been drinking, but there was evidence that the car had been going at high speed when the turn of the road was reached and the car had somersaulted several times. After viewing the wreck and questioning the survivors Sheriff Stewart decided an inquest was not necessary as the evidence from fast driving was plain. The party consisted of seven young people, Melvin Rogerson, 18; Marion Williams, 17; Floyd Belveal, 16; Bessie Allen, 15; Ida Philips, 14; Margaret Summers, 15, and Clara Braymer, 15. The car was taken from his father's garage by one of the boys, without his parent's knowledge, and the trip to Ontario was evidently taken by the young people on their own responsibility. They were all young and doubtless having a good time with possibly too little thought of the speed at which they were going or the turn in the road. Following the wreck those injured the worst were taken to the home of W. A. Reed, who lives on the old Hilton place and the others returned to Dr. Dryden's office in New Plymouth. Clara Braymer lived only about forty minutes after the wreck. The flesh was nearly all torn from the calf of one of Margaret Summer's legs and the face cut open until the jawbone could be plainly seen. Thirty two stitches were taken in her leg. As she was not internally injured the Doctor said she would recover. Melvin Rogerson was also injured, but not so seriously. The others were only slightly bruised and shaken up.
