Escapes Injury as Motor Car Upsets - Drilling Contractor Meets with Unusual 
Accident East of De Graff.

F. D. Lawrence, drilling contractor, narrowly escaped serious inury, if not 
death, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the motor car he was driving 
upset about four miles east of DeGraff. The accident happened when Mr. Lawrence 
lost control of the machine.

The car travelled many yards swinging from one side of the road to the other. 
It then turned completely around and fell on its side.  A. B. Ewing, postmaster 
was a short distance behind Mr. Lawrence and helped him right the car. The 
machine was only slightly damaged and was able to proceed under its own power.

Mr. Lawrence received only slight bruises.
