NEAR-BAD ACCIDENT IN HEAD-ON COLLISION

Ed Oliver in Auto Crashed Into Wagon Driven by Will Daugherty Last Wednesday. A near-bad accident occurred Just after dark last Wednesday evening northeast of town, when Ed Oliver in his auto, collided with a load of lumber which Will Daugherty was taking home. The accident occurred on the north and south road this side of John Moore’s. Oliver w r as coming south and Will was going north. Will was walking on the right side of his team and driving in a walk. Suddenly the horses turned to the right and Will says that he Saw a faint light, apparently a cigar coming in his direction. He says that he pulled the team still further to the right and that at that instant the auto crashed into him, breaking the front wheel of his wagon and knocking a spoke out of the hind wheel and the auto glancing off in the ditch. Fortunately n© one was injured and the horses themselves were not hurt in the least. The auto was not /badly damaged hut had. to be left in the ditch over night. Another machine passing at the time brought Oliver and Mr. Wynegar, who ups riding with him, to town. Mr. Daugherty says that he was not walking behind the wagon with the lines fastened in front and that he did not run up and pull the horses back Into the road when they started to turn out. He thinks Mr. Oliver did not have his auto lamps lighted. Mr. Oliver gives practically the same account of the accident, but thinks
