Hoover came along almost immediately thereafter in their cars, driving north, and helped to pick Ochs up and put him in Miss Lamborn’s car and she drove him into town to a doctor. He was unconscious for a short time, but is said to have revived somewhat before being placed In the car. There was a bad looking cut on his forehead, but whether the skull was fractured or not the parties at the scene of the accident could not tell. Miss Lamborn was all broke up over the acdldent and was hysterical. She was accompanied by her brother’s hired hand, but she was driving the car. Both said that Ochs had stepped In front of the car.
