Marengo, Ill.-It may have been memories of ancient wrongs, when he was crowded out of the road by noisy automobiles, or perhaps it was just blind fear, that caused old Dobbin to bolt straight toward a light touring car on the Marengo-Woodstock road and knock it to the side of the road, wrecking it and spilling out the occupants.
    Neither the horse or the occupants of the car was seriously injured but the car was badly smashed.
    The horse had been running along a ditch at the side of the road, as the automobile neared the animal it jumped to the bridge and struck the machine squarely with such force that the autobile landed in the ditch on the other side of the bridge.
    The car was driven by Ralph Carmack of Marengo and the other occupants were four members of the Marengo high school football team. The accident occured about three miles east of Marengo.
