PECULIAR ACCIDENT TO
THREE MOTOR VEHICLES

An unusual accident resulting in
damages to an automobile and truck
probably in excess of $4,000 occurred
recently at the intersection of the
Cheriton Station Road with the Coast
al Highway. No one was seriously
hurt.
A large oil truck approaching the
highway from the station stopped at
the "Stop" sign; behind it followed a
light sedan owned by Mr.. Dewey Will
liams, of Eastville, and operated by
his son, Edward Williams. Williams
came to a stop behind the oil truck.
Before the vehicles started to move
into the highway South Carolina
tractor and trailer outfit drove up be-
hind Williams but as he attempted to
stop he skidded on the wet road and
the trailer "jack-knifed" and threw
the tractor into the Williams machine.
The sedan was damaged possibly to
the extent of $4,000 and the Carolina
truck damages will possibly total $50.
No action was taken as the parties
involved estimated their damages and
adjusted their own differences.

Cox saw at glance that he had
deformed hand, that one ear was
defective, and that in his hip pocket
were several can openers. The de-
scription over the radio stated that
the man wanted had a deformed hand,
that one ear was bad, and that he was
a novelty salesman. In fact, the man
fitted the description announced over
the radio.
Calling Emory Lednum to one side
Cox asked him to go for the sheriff.
Soon the deputy sheriff arrived and
took the man into custody. When
asked his name he said it was r. E.
Brown, aged 81, but that he was not
the man accused of the crime.
However, the sheriff held him at
the Easton Jail until he notified the
Delaware State Police. Officer John
Conrad, of Dover, came to Easton
and took the man back with him. Con-
rad claimed the man was the one
wanted for the crime.

attempted suicide by drowning, but
that the exertion brought on a heart

A warm sun yesterday aided State
highway workers in scraping the
highways free of snow which ranged
in depth from IL inches near the

Reports to the highway department

tically all of the highways were
cleared of snow except for a few
spots and that these places had
been sanded.
There were no reports of fatal ac-
cidents yesterday, although the
treacherous coating on the highways
caused a number of minor accidents.
Nearly 100 automobiles and four
buses were stranded for a time
Thursday night near Christiansburg.
Reports yesterday to the Highway
Department showed the southwest
section of the State was probably
hardest hit by the snow and sleet
storm. Roads in the Bristol high
way district were covered by about
6 inches of snow and ice. The
snowfall in the Shenandoah Valley
also was heavy, ranging from about
