25 YEARS AGO . . .
An auto. accident on the Horse-
shoe curve a half mile north of
Newcastle on Highway 85, claim-
ed the life of Ed Reinders and:
his brother, A. G, Reinders, re-
ceived injuries that are painful
though probably not of a serious
nature. As we get the story, two
brothers, Ed driving, were return-
ing from a trip to one of the lo-
cal mills with a load of native
lumber. They started down the
big hill just north of town, the
truck, a Model T Ford equipped
with a patented axle, in high
gear. Before they had proceeded
very far down the hill, the truck
~ot to rolling pretty fast and as
they neared the sharp curve
known locally as the ttoreshoe
bend, the driver told his brother
that he was unable to make the
curve and for him to jump. A
few seconds later, just as A. G.
Reindcrs jumped from the truck
the front wheels, jacl~-knifed,"
turning the truck on its s'idc, col-
lapsing the two outside wheels
and piling truck and lumber on
the highway. Ed Reindcrs, driver
of the truck, was killed instantly
by the flying lumber ~or by being
crushed by tile load. His brother,
landing oll the road just as the
truck turned over, was struck by
one of the wheels and severely
cut about the face and head
a n d s u s t a i n e d a fractured
rib. The injured and dead man
were brought to Newcastle by
the Was, hburn Bettis company
truck and medical attention was
given the living by Drs. Ilorton
and IIorton. The remains of Ed
Reinders were taken to The New-
castle Mortuary where Coroner
Gee. DcBow viewed them and
decided that tile circumstances
of the killing did not warrant an
inquest.
At a cost of approximately $1,-
600 a new bridge has been open-
probably eighty per cent of the
living in the north and west part
of the city. Later, if finances per-
mit, it will be well to construct
another bridge at the crossing
just north of the Oliver home on
Sumner street.

and Mrs. Clark's son, Paul New-
ell, drove through in a Chevro-
let touring from Detroit, Mich
leaving there last Monday, arriv-
ing in Newcastle Tuesday eve-
ning. This overland trip incident-
ly shows the fine performance of
the Chevrolet cars under all wea-
ther conditions and roads, as we
are informed the entire trip was
made without any car trouble
whatever. The shortest drive Mr.
Clark made was on Tuesday when
he drove through from Tarring-

glad to welcome them b!~ck. Mr.
