A Soldier Killed

One of the most terrible accidents
that has occurred near here since
Camp Dix opened vas that of Satur.
day evening when an automobile
turned over and killed one man and
injured five Others. The machine was
a Packard for seven passengers. There
were eight men in addition to the
driver when the car upset. The acct
dent occurred on the stone road be-
tween Mount Holly and Chambers
Corner, close to Aaron Burtis' farm.
The car was coming along at high
speed, according to testimony secured,
although the driver claims to have
been running very moderately. He
blames the accident upon the bursting
of tire. That he had a poor tire is
known and that he was aware of it is
also asserted. At any rate when the
car reached the spot where the acct
dent took place it suddenly swerved
and ran up on bank at the side of
the road. 1t plowed through the dirt
for some distance and then took the
stone road again, going about 10 PAGES
when it turned completely around to-
ward Jobstown and upset. The front
wheel of the machine was broken.
When those who were in the car and
those who happened TO come along at
tempted to lend aid they found diff
cult task as most of the inmates of the
automobile were pinned undes, it.
Finally it was discovered that one
man had been killed. He was SER
geant William M. Stout, an expert
from Carthage, Ill. The back
of his head was crushed in. Five others
were hurt. They were privates Cecilia |
