FIVE MEN HURT IN AUTO
MISHAP ON BIG SAVAGE
Two Youths of Near SwantOn
Are in Critical Condition

Five men were injured in an auto
crash on the top of Big Savage
Mountain about 1920 o'clock Satur-
day night. All were taken to the
Miners Hospital, Frostburg, where
two were reported in critical con-
dition, another painfully injured and
the other two released after exami-
nation and first aid treatment.
William T. Broadwater, of the
Swanton community, % years old,
driver of one of the machines, was
badly cut about the throat, face and
head. He was thrown through the
windshield after the collision. Myrl
Wilt, aged %, a companion of Broad
water, sustained a possible fracture
of the skull and severe cuts and
bruises. Both these men are in a
critical condition. Broadwater is
suffering from shock and loss of
blood. Chances of his recovery are
doubtful. The third person in this
machine was a cousin of William T.
Broadwater, Wheeler Broadwater,
aged about 10, also of the Swanton
community. He was cut. about the
head, face, hands and body, but his
injuries were not regarded as serious.
The other machine was operated
by James P. McCabe, Oldtown, who
was accompanied by r. w. Wheeler,
Cumberland. Neither of the men re-
manned in the hospital and aside
from slight cuts and bruises and
shock, are not seriously hurt.
According to State Police Officer j..
r. Miller, the accident was head-on
collision, and apparently the machine
operated by Broadwater was on the
wrong side of the road. There was
no rain, and the road was dry.
The officer did not definitely place
responsibility for the crash.
