TWO MORE DIE
AFTER ACCIDENT
Auto Crash of Last Week
Results in Total of
Three Deaths.
FORD DRIVER CLEARED.

Two more men have died as a result
OF the accident at the Venice Center
bridge last Thursday night when a
Wiliys'knight touring car driven by.
Sylvester Thatcher of Swartz Creek.
was struck by a Ford touring car
driven by. Robert, the 10 years old SON,
of Sidney Eddy Of Durand. Thatcher
died at Memorial hospital late Monday
afternoon, and Frank Cervennek, whose
home was also in Swartz Creek, died
Saturday afternoon. The other victim
of the accident was Myron Luther, who
was killed instantly at the time of the
collision
Placing of guilt for the accident
seems to be mostly on Thatcher, as he
was driving from the west and as the
other car was coming from the south.
the Ford had the right of way. The
fact that Thatcher was driving about
35 miles per hour. and failed to sea or
recognize the Ford as it came from the
side, has been considered sufficient
evidence that the occupants of the Ford
were not to blame for the accident. A
confession from Thatcher before his
death, that he did not remember look
ing to his right when approaching the
fatal corner, has been the final element
in releasing the occupants of the Ford
from all blame.
Prosecutor Matthews stated Tuesday
that no charge Of msnslaughter was to
be brought against the, boy driver of
the Ford. The only charge that ia
likely be made sgsinst him is that Of
driving AN susoMo6iis sswhils Under ags.s
Il is expected. however. that even this
charge will not be pressed, as the boy
was ordered to take the Car out by his
father. and can hardly be blsmed for
an involuntary action. according to the
prosecutor.
The two men who were riding with
Thatcher in the back seat, Frank Costa.
and Krull, lboth of Swartz Creek, stated
to Prosecutor Matthews, when exam.
ined, that they saw the Ford approach
ing aud attempted to warn Thstcher.
but for some reason he failed to take
any notice of them. When they reached
the corner, they stated. he swervsd the
car. in final attempt TO avoid col
lision, bat it was hit blow on the side
and rear.
Both of the men in the Ford, Sidney
Eddy, father of the boy driving. and
G. E. Seifred, were thrown from their
car, but neither was injured to auy
extent. Both were held by the officers
in connection with responsibility for
the accident and on release in this con-
nection were taken before Justice
Nichols of Corunna, and sentenced to
i5 days in the county Jail for being
drunk at the time of the accident.

Probably the most extensive work in
head selection during the coming year
will be done on South Manton Island,

Leelanau shore, where M. A. G, the
Michigan Crop improvement associa-

dozen farmers on the leland has agreed
to raise no other variety of rye and to

Driving on mountain automobile
highways is moro of trick" than
most drivers realize. Fasteners.
coming to this state on summer tours
with their automobiles consider that
tho only necessary thing for driving
over mountain roads is sufficient
power to make ordinary inclincs on

Many have found. to their sorrow.
that this is not the case.
Perhaps one OF tho most important
fixtures on ones automobile on a
mountain drive are the brakes. Both
sets. service and emergency, should
be carefully examined and tested be-
fore starting a mountain drive.
n tho brake lining has been worn

MYSTERY ABOUT

About twonty-scvon kilomcters from

cave called the Cave of MarasI It
is n large cpeninE in tho side OF tho
mountain; it's floor pool of clear
icy cold water. There Va nothing
remarkable about II in appearance.
Its interest lies in its being tho
reputed burial place of powerful
wizard of old the spell of whose on
chantments still broods over the
cavern. The particular manifesto
ton which interests passers-by is tho
impossibility of striking tho opposite

NEW AUTO ROAD
TO GRAND CANON
VIII Connect Mesa Verde
Park With Great Scenic
Wonder ln

I. Is proposed to build an automobile
highway from the Mesa Verde National
park to tho Grand Canon OF tho Colo
rado. in Arizona cutting off nearly 800
miles from the journey to tho canon
by way OF tho present Santa Fe trail.
At tho canon. tho cutoff would again
strike tho Santa Fo route, thus shorten
ing the road to California by the same
distance. II would offer an added in
ducement to tourists. since 1t passes
thru aboriginal territory never before
opened to the followers OF gasoline
trunk lines.
Luke L Smith. superintendent OF
construction in Colorado for the United
States bureau of roads, left Durango
recently on n trip from the southwest
corner OF Colorado to drive to the
Grand Canon of the Colorado, to in
spect the territory over the Arizona
desert Tho result OF his report Is eS-
pcctei to no the entering wedge toward
n new road direct from the Mesa Verde
National park to the Grand canon. l.
Il. Sylvester piloted the car for him.
Mr. Smith is making the trip at the
request OF Stephen Mather. director OF
national parks, who asks that he pass
upon tho feasibility OF such road.
l.. Il. Sylvester. who is taking Mr..
Smith over the territory. first made the
trip fn August, 1920. Upon returning.
no got in touch with park authorities.
urging them to look into the matter
of building n permanent road.
Mr.. Sylvester claims that tho road
will shorten the distance from Colo
rado TO the Grand Canon and Los Ang
eles by nearly 800 miles. besides open
ing one OF the finest scenic sectors OF
tho west. lIc declares that there is
already a good start towards road
now open 10 an automobile. The chief
need is a government road from the
cliff dwcllor ruins in Mesa Verde TO
Ehiprock. New Mexico. less than 20
mile, From that point, there is "A road
TO tho Grand Canon. where tourists
will again strike the Santa Fe trail.
Tho road passes thru tho Navajo
Indian reservation, comes close to the
famous Rainbow natural bridge, 800
feet In span, and $40 feet In height.
Tho desert run Is not n hard one. Mr..
Sylvester is quoted as saying. water
s. plentiful. and gas and oil are to be
had At frequent Indian trading posts.
