On Sunday last Mr. and Mrs. Gas
id an ehe* ter left Belt for Butte via
White Sulphur Spring* in their Buick
Sedan to visit Mrs. Dolores Cramer
Just before noon they stopped at
spring near the Castle Mountain
ranch for water. As they started on
their way Mr. Manchester looked at
Ills watch and said that they would
reach the Springs just in time for
dinner.
A hundred yards from the spring
something happened to one of the
rear wheels which collapsed and the
car spun around into the ditch and
came to rest upon its top with the
wheels up in the air.
The Manchesters do not remember
overturning but say that both were
rendered unconscious by the first jolt.
They heard the crash of the breaking
wheel but nothing else.

Besides being braised Mrs. Manches

The car was taken to White Sul

one axle and its housing was broken.
The tire and rim on the bmken wheel
rolled away and had not been found
when the Manchesters returned to

be imposible to definitely place the
cause of the accident.
