TlDo Elyites, Biwabik
Man Die in Car Crash
on Ely Tower Road
Frank Bobinc, JOS, Bobinc,
Edward Kinney Killed
in Collision.
AUTOS DEMOLISHED
No Witnesses to Fatality;
Rites for Victims Held
Tuesday Morning.

BY far the most disastrous car &C
cident in years took place on the Ely
Tower road on Saturday evening, cost
ing the lives of three people.
The dead are Frank Bobinc, aged 40,
and father of large family; his son,
Joseph Bobinc, aged Is years. and Ed
ward Francis Kinney, aged 80, of
Biwabik
A telephone message from McComber
told of the accident and as soon as
possible an ambulance was dispatched
to the scene, about eight miles from the
elder Bobinc was dead, while some
semblance of life still showed in the
shattered and crushed bodies of the
Bobinc boy and Kinney.
They were brought to this city in
haste but both expired before arrival
at the Shipman hospital. The accident
cast gloom over the city and hundreds
called at the Central Garage where one
of the wrecked cars had been brought,
eagerly seeking details of the fatal
smash.
There were no eyewitness of the
accident but an investigation by De-
putty Sheriff Adolph Dolenshak and
John Koshak of the Central Garage, in
charge of the wrecker called to the
scene, brought out the following theory
of the affair
The position of the cars and the
nf loo oh kor
the Bobinc car in which father and
son were riding was returning from this
city to their resort home at McComber.
1t also appeared that knoll on the
slippery road had caused the car to
slide out of its regular track across the
driven by Mr.. Kinney on his way to
this city.
The impact of Kinney's Plymouth
car striking the Ford almost in the
center, completely demolished the Bob
inc car and crushed the forward end of
the Plymouth to an almost unrecog-
nizable mass. A car following arrived
on the scene a few minutes after the
impact and the occupants examined
the cars and removed the crumpled
bodies from the wrekage.
In the meantime word had been sent
to this city and the ambulance and the
wrecker had arrived. The ambulance
brought the bodies to Ely. Later, after
physicians pronounced the trio dead,
the remains were taken to the Fenske
Mortuary. Kinney was battered to an
unacceptable mass with his face and
head crushed, his legs and arms broken.
He was prepared for burial and the
Graham Morturay hearse came here
from Virginia to take charge of the
remains. Later they were taken to his
home in Biwabik from where the
funeral was held on Tuesday morning.

HELsINKI CHORUS AT VIRGINIA.

A limited number of adult tickets
have been set aside for the concert to
be presented by the Helsinki University
Mems Chorus, appearing in Virginia on
January 9th, for the students of the
schools who were unable to secure
tickets for the main concert and re-
ception that evening.
Tickets for the evening concert sold
so rapidly that a request for matinee
performance was sent to the tour con-
ductor late in November. The conduc-
tor has sent word that the request will
be granted and the chorus will sing a
half hour concert at the school audi
forum from 1870 to 1900 o'clock noon.
The oportunity presented to the
ranges to hear this group of male voices
is a rare privilege. Music critics in the
east rain praises for their unusual
talent. Mrs. Gust A. Maxi, who is in
charge of ticket sales for this city, sold
her allotment early the first week they
were placed on sale.

lopment of motor vehicles and of
highways, these towns no longer are
at transportation disadvantage
when compared with their sister
cities on water or rail lines, it adds.
Specifically Of the three commune
ties, Deep Run, Pink Hill and Beu-
laville, the survey reported:
..ssThe record shows that they are
better off economically and have
more convenient transportation SER
vice than before they lost their rail-
road service. Highway transporters
provide faster and more frequent
passenger service, cheaper and bet
ter freight transportation. But and
truck concerns and railside estab-
lishments employ many more people
than the railroad did, while motor
vehicles and related businesses pro-
vide far more total taxes"
The number of motor vehicles in
Lenoir and Duplin counties reached
a total of 5000 in 1927 and 1855 in
1887. While passenger cars increas-
ed moderately from 8,105 to $500;
trucks showed an uninterrupted in
crease from 1,O95 to $685. or more
than $50 per cent. In 1887 there were
2,45O taxed vehicles in the innedi-
