THROWN FROM CUTTER

Miss Mayme Corda [Mae Korda-2], 661 Prentice street, was painfully bruised last Wednesday evening, when a cutter and an automobile came together at the corner of Park street and Strongs avenue. Miss Corda, with her father, Anton Corda [Anton Korda-3], and sister, Miss Anna [Anna Korda-2], were returning from their work at the Whiting-Plover paper mill in a cutter and were turning north on Strongs avenue from Park street when an automobile driven by Frank Eiden drew up. Owing to the fact that the Oberlatz tailor shop screened the view, the occupants of the two vehicles did not become aware of their predicament until it was too late, but the driver of the car showed presence of mind by making a sharp turn, preventing a direct collision. As it was the cutter was somewhat damaged and its occupants thrown out. Miss Mayme Corda was the only one hurt to any extent, but her njuries were not serious, it is stated.
