No Injuries as
Cars Collide

A Ford touring car driven by
Clarence Penney OF Oakland was de-
molished and a Studebaker sedan
driven by George Pooler of this city
was. badly damaged when the two
automobiles collided on the Oak
land road late Saturday night. How
the accident was caused is not def
nitely known. but it is thought that
one Of the cars was thrown from its
path by one Of the piles of gravel
which have been placed along the
road. The. Ford turned over several
times and it came to stop resting
up side down. Mr.. Penney was able
to get out when the car left the road
but the man with whom he was rid
ing stayed in it until it came TO its
final resting place. There were no
injuries.
