DOLL of this city, Fred COX of the X I Ranch, near Plains and Mrs. Oscar GEER of Plains, sustained slight injuries Sunday afternoon at about three o'clock, when their car turned over at the corner of First Street and Lincoln avenue, throwing them all to the pavement.

The three were rushed to a downtown hospital where their injuries were dressed. Mr. Doll received a cut on the back of his head; Mr. Fox had a sprained shoulder and Mrs. Geer dislocated her left wrist. All were badly shaken up bruised and cut by bits of flying glass.
