two young men and brothers, residing near Shelby- vllle are both In St. Mary's hospital, each with a broken left leg, about five or six Inches above the ankle. The Injuries are due to an auto accident at an early hour Wednesday morning on the road east of Macon. The two brothers had driven to De catur to see an uncle on business and on arriving here, found the uncle was In Springfield. They went to that city by tnterurban and returned In a late car Tuesday night.

They then started for home In their car about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. About five miles east of Macon they turned out to pasa another car, not noticing that the road narrowed for a bridge at that point. They drove off the road and the car turned over on them. Evidently the other car did not know of the accident and kept on traveling. Just how long they te malned there, they did not know, but they did succeed finally In getting out from under the car and at about 4 o'clock they were picked up and taken Into Macon.

A physician cared for them there and sent them on to the hospital here. The car was not damaged much. Mits Ellen Robbins, 62, Expires.
