As the machine turned turtle at the foot of the embankment, Mr. Fish was pinned under the car. The other occupants were thrown from their seats. Mr. Fish was injured seriously and died shortly after he had been taken to the Arnot-Ogden hospital. The other members of the party were shaken up badly, but were able to proceed to their homes after Mr. Fish had been removed to the hospital. A bad turn in the highway, and a slippery road are given as the cause of the accident. It is stated that the car was proceeding toward Elmira at a moderate rate of speed. Just north of the road, leading to the monument, the highway makes an abrupt curve, and at this curve is a steep embankment. It was at this point that the machine skidded and fell with a crash into the field below. The other men in the car rendered Mr. Fish all the assistance possible. Mr. Fish was found in an unconscious condition. The death certificate files with City Registrar Sellen, states that death was due to contusions and concussion of the brain. The body was removed to Millerton; burial at Jackson Center. Sheriff Hoke investigated the accident. He stated that after a careful search he had been unable to find the slightest evidence of any liquor having been in the car or on the men. The car is damaged badly. Another automobile appeared shortly after the accident and endeavored to pull the Ford back on the highway.
