Gettysburg, Jan. 24 - John Albert, a farmer living southeast of Gettysburg, had a narrow escape from being killed last night when the auto which he was driving turned turtle pinning him under the car. The unfortunate man was riding alone in the car, and it was only through the efforts of Bud Potte and Martin Healy, who happened along at the time, that he is now alive and able to tell the story, and save from a few bruises received, it is not thought that Mr. Albert will be much worse for the experience.
