SAD FATALITIES.

Mrs Meikle was driving, and in descending a steep pinoh the car went over the siding and Mr Meikle was thrown out and had his thigh broken, Mrs Meikle was pinned under the car and suffocated by the weight on her chest. Mr Meikle had to crawl with a broken thigh to give the alarm at his house.
