According to the latest information
received today the condition of Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. York of this city,
who were both badly Injured Mon-
day evening when the car in which
they were returning from Kansas
went into a ditch two miles south of
Kellyville, is improved. Mrs York
is able to be up, but Mr. York is
still confined to his bed.
The accident which almost cost
the elderly couple their lives oc-
cured owing to the careless driving
of a party of young men who came
out o* Kellyville behind Mr and Mrs
York. At a point where the em-
bankment along the road was very
high the car in the rear plunged in-
to the flr.-t automobile, knocking it
over the embankment, where it fell
to a distance of twelve of fifteen
feet The men in the rear <^ar who
had almost caused a fatal tragedy,
never stopped to offer Mr. and Mrs.'
York assistance, according to report.
Their car was badly demolished by
the fall and both were unconscious
when a passing party of motori-ts
found them. A son of Mr. and Mrs.
York was in a car ahead, and this
fact they managed to communicate
to their rescuers. The son was no-
tified, returned and brought his
father and mother to Drumright,
where thty received medical and
surgical attention.
At flrnt 't was thought that Mr.
and Mr-'. York were fatally Injured
and they were unconscious for two
days following the accident. There.
Is little chance that they would have j
recovered at all had it not been for
the passing car an hour after they
went over the embankment. Mr.
York sustained three broken ribs and
other internal injuries, while his
wife was badly cut and bruised about
the face and body.
