Burke County Men Hurt
in Accident
Several Burke county men, driving a Ford, were more or less
painfully injured this morning shortly before 9 o’clock when their car turned
around and over about midway between the Hickory Spinning Company and
Hildebran. The men were en route to Newton to attend the trial, but all said
when their injuries were being dressed here by Dr. O.L. Holler that they were as
near Newton as they expected to be this day.
Ed Britton was driving the machine and he sustained the
worst injuries of any of the party. He suffered two broken ribs. G. Cornelius
Abernethy had both bones broken in his arm; Charlie Stephens suffered cuts on
the ear and face; Everett Britton sustained injuries about the face, and J.B.
Britton was hurt in the shoulder.
It was said that the steering apparatus went wrong as the
car was making a short turn. Mr. Ed Britton, who was driving it, said the
machine turned around and then piled up on top of the party.
