MRS. GUS POISON Is
KILLED in AUTO WRECK

Mrs. Gus Poison of Williams, was
instantly killed shortly after 1880
o'clock last Friday morning when a
closed automobile driven by Mrs.
Ethel Middleton, also of Williams,
crashed off the Prescott-Ashfork
highway four miles south of Cedar
Glade, and turned over three times.
Others in the party, who were head
ed for Prescott to spend the day, and
who were injured, were Mrs. Thorn
as Lockett, daughter of Mrs. Poison,
Mrs. Lockett's baby and Mrs. j. Lum-
berg, all of Williams.
The accident occurred when Mrs.
Middleton, in pulling over to the
right hand side of the road to pass
an on-coming car, ran the front
wheels of sher car into the soft dirt
at the 9dge of the road and lost con-
troll of the car Charles Burton.
stockman of the north end of the
county, who arrived at the scene of
the accident about 10 minutes later,
said that from the marks on the road
it appeared that Mrs. Middleton had
tried to right the car, but that the
car had zigzagged down the road
short distance and then left the road
on the opposite side.
Mrs. Polson's head was crushed
and she is believed to have died in-
stantly. Her daughter, Mrs. Loekett,
who was riding in the back seat of
the car with her mother, suffered
a fractured shoulder, but Mrs. Lock
ett's baby, who was held by her, was
apparently uninjured. One of Mrs.
Middleton's limbs was injured in adj
ditien to other bruises, and Mrs.
Lumberg, who was riding in the front
seat with Mrs. Middleton, escaped
with minor injuries.
A troup of theatrical people, head
ed for Phoenix, We're the first to
come upon the accident, and, guided
by Mrs. Burton, whose car was load
ed with furniture, Mrs. Poison was
rushed to Mercy hospital in the car
belonging to the theater performers,
accompanied by her daughter, Mrs
Lockett. Mrs. Middleton was taken
