Miss Elsie Bodendorfer is in a serious condition at St. Joseph’s Hospital as the result of an automobile accident Thursday night of last week on the road one mile north of the hospital, when a car driven by Chas. Ley became unmanageable and ran through a deep ditch into an embankment. The car was badly wrecked and the occupants of the car, Lydia Bodendorfer, Willie Eibergen and Charles Ley were also injured. Miss Lydia spent five days at the hospital and the boys were somewhat cut about the head. It is the wish of Miss Elsie’s friends that she may soon recover.
