AUTO UPSET HURT 6 BOYS

Machine in Which Youngsters Were Riding Turned Over and Caught Joyriders.

Medina, N.D., May 27.—Late last evening a number of boys taking a joy ride were caught beneath the auto when it turned over and only for timely assistance would have lost their lives.

Having Fine Ride.

The ages of the boys ranged from 6 to 13 years and all were gaily riding about in Peter Kerner's auto when the accident happened. The little 6-year-old boy, when the auto turned over, was thrown clear of the machine and immediately stopped the engine, or the affair might have proven much more serious. Two of the joyriders required medical assistance.
