DR.. CRABBE'S CAR CUTS
A MANS HEAD Off
Runs "Wild" Down Hilly Street
in Denver; Kills One Man
and Injuries Others

Friends here have received
news of fatal accident in Den
yer, Colo, caused by the automo-
bile belonging to DIR. ]. G. Crabbe

Teachers College, and former
president of Eastern Kentucky
State Normal School here, and
and before that State Superinten-

lucky.
1t appears that DIR. Crabbe's
machine, which had been left
parked at the curb OH a street. on
a hill, slipped its brakes in some
way and ran down the hill. 1t
struck man, knocked him down
and completely decapitated him,
causing instant death, Of course.
Two women were also struck by
the car in its. mad flight and were
seriously injured.
There was no one i'll the car at
the time, and it appears to have
been standing by the curb for
some time before it got started
on its wild and fatal flight. Ncl
blame attached to DR.. Crabbe,
of course, for the unfortunate af
fair, his friends say. Greeley, |
where his school is located, is but |
short distance from Denver and
i'll easy motoring distance. The
Argonaut Hotel, where several
Richmond people have spent the
summer, stands on the hill, down
which the car ran wild. it is said /
n dispatch from Denver to the !
New York Times had the follow
ing about the accident:
William K. Callicotte. candidate
for United States senator last
November, was deCapitated and
two girls were injured when an
automobile belonging to DIR. J. G..
Crahbc. president of the State
Teachers College. ran away driv-
crlcsS down Capitol Hill from
Great street to Broadway. The
girls. lorraine Burnam and Ma
tilda killman, both II years old.
were taken to the county hospi-
tai. where physicians say they
will probably die.
CalliCOtte was ovcrtaken by the
runaway car as he was crossing
COlfaX avenue at Broadway. The
car knocked him down and one of
the big wheels completely sever
ed his head from the body, which
was horribly mutilatcd.
The automobile went on and hit
Il light delivery wagon and came
TO Il stop hen it COllided with a
street car without inJuring the
passengers.
DR.. Crabbe told the police that
he left his car locked. braked and /
dead when he and his wife enter
ed the Argonaut hotel shortly be-
fore the accident. His statement |
has been disputed and the police
department is having experts eX-
anime the car to determine the
truth of DR.. Crabbe' assertions.

CUTS BATTERY PRICES

The Prest-O-Lite Company, Inc. has
made II possible for the car and truck
owners of the United States to save per-
haps 100000 in the aggregate over
what they would have had to pay for
the same battery in September, 1920. II
has recently announced the second
drastic cut in price on a model for use
on Fords, Chevrolets, Overlands, GER
tain models of Buick and twenty-seyen
other cars and trucks.
The present trade in or exchange price
on this battery is $3.50. as compared
to price OF s3115 for the same bait
terry as recently as December. 1920. In
September, 1920, this battery sold at
the trade in price of $3.50, or a list
price OF $3.50. The new price of s23.5v
is even lower than the 1917 price.
Considering that probably one-third

gregate possible saving OF s4o,000.0O0
