MANY AUTOS IN WRECKS LAST WEEK Timberlake Is Hurt As Car Is Wrecked Monday Night. With the heavy increase in traffic on roads leading to Syracuse and Lake Wwasee, there have been several automobile accidents during the past week. The first accident was last Thursday evening when the car of Lawrence Grant, negro' employee at the Spink-Wawasee crashed with another mchine on the lake road between Sargent’s hotel and the Wawasee. Grant was accompanied by six friends and Was crowded off the road by an oncoming Buick. Grant’s car turned over but the occupants escaped with only minor injuries. . : 1 Charles Harris was driving on the southside of the lake on the strai ht away near the Tavern cutoff, wh«,i his car turned over bn its side- in the ditch. He slays he attempted to pass a woman driver who turned in front of his machine and crowded him off the road. On Sunday evening about 8 o’clock Bert Laughlin’s flivver coupe was struck just as he attempted to turn into his home on Smoky Row. He said he though there was plenty of time to turn to the left in front of a car he saw coming far ahead, but that the driver of the car was .speeding so that the flivver was struck and turned around in the road. Mrs. Laughlin -was bruised and shaken and Margaret Pease, riding with the Laughlin’s received a cut head. The coupe was damaged. The young men riding in the other car gave, the name of the driver as Lopp of Nappanee. They said they had borrowed the car from Mr. Lehman who came to the Laughlin home Monday morning to learn of the damage done. The license in the Nappanee car had been issued to C. H. Kauffman. On Monday evening Milehain Timberlake was injured in an automobile accident near Solomon's Creek. He was returning from Elkhart where he haid just taken a lesson in Hying. While in the air there had been difficulty with the plane, the motor stalling, but a safe landing was made. He says that, on his way home by automobile, as he approached the bridge at Solomon’s Creek, he saw another car coming toward him. He was nearly across the bridge when the two cars came together, head on. The impact of the two cars took off thq left front wheel of Timberlake’s automobile. The machine swerved to the left side of the road and into the ditch, knocking the wind out of Timberlake. According to him, the occupants of the other machine, Mangrace Kurta and Jerry Williams of Goshen, said that driver of the . car coming just behind Timberlake had suddenly turned on his bright lights, blinding them. Timberlake’s car was towed to a local garage, and the Goshen machine was able to ga on under its own power. Timberlake’s knees were, severely (Continued on Last Page) Ox.

Strieby, who waa discharged several years ago as administrator of the estate of his father, Andrew Strieby, has filed action in circuit court tb set aside the later appointment of George R.

It appears that according to the will left by Andrew Strieby, the original administrator, Elmer Strieby, should have continued to serve in that capacity until after the death of Mrs. Strieby, when authority was given to dispose of the Strieby farm near Syracuse. Through an error Elmar Strieby was discharged and George Harper was later appointed.
