MRS. WEAVER SEVERELY
INJURED IR AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Mien Weaver. wife of O. S'.
Weaver, manager of t’*e Alaska Tele
graph and Telephone Company, and
Leroy Wells. a local ehauffuer and
nvechurkian, ware the victims of a
serious automobile accident occuring
on the Bessie-.Vnvll rojui last evening
while the couple were returning1 from a
trip to Anvil creek. Supposedly as a
result of some defect In the steering
gear, the car In which they were i.uik
ing the trip overturned, pinning Mrs.
' Weaver beneath the tonneau, fractur
ing three ribs. In addition to possible
internal injuries and numerous severe
bruises. Wells although thrown un
der the overturned car,, was more for
tunate. tiis injuries being confined to
minor bruises ajid contusions. Weils
managed to escaj>e from beneath th'
heavy machine by crawling througn
tli** broken wind shield. Details of the
accident are as follows.
M'S Weaver, accompanied by Miss
.Mamie Kelly, with Wells as chauffeur,
was on her way home from a^yisit to
upper Anvil creek when the car in
some unexplained manner became mir
ed in a ditch a short distance from th*
P.essie claim. Assistance was sum
moned from Ijittle Creek to pull th«
ear hack on the road. This apparently
trifling Incident is believed to have tel
to the later and more serious accident
thorugh some derangement of the
.steering apparatus. About the time the
car was ready to proceed on its way
to Nome, the, trio was overtaken by the
ear of W. J. Rowe, heiring Mr. R>we
end l>an Kelly, brothe:* of Miss Ke’ly.
A-s a result of the ntectiusT, Miss Kell)
decided to Join her r and chang
cd to the Rowe cur, it-.iv.i* Mrs St i
ver, and 'Veils to ->r .eeou alone. The
two cars started together and every
thing was proceeding nicely when the
car driven by Wells swerved violently
and overturned close by the Bessie
tailing piles. Wells crawled from un
der as rapidly as possible and shouted
to the occupants of the other cur, who
apparently had not noticed the acci
dent. With the assistance of Rowe
and Kelly the car was lifted from Mrs.
Weaver's unconscious body and th©
fortunate lady was 'rushed to town.
She is now under the care of t>r.
Welch a I her home but will probably
be removed to the. hospital. Reports
late this afternoon indicate that she
was progressing favorably.
