ePt1cs Remain In Control Of Stock Market And Prices Decline
TOO MANY

Two automobile accidents about
the same time are one too many,
according to police yesterday,
especially if one of the damaged
vehicles is police car No. IA.
Police went to investigate an
automobile wreck, at Third and
Queen streets, involving G. e.
Wilson, of Clinton, and Clyde
Taylor negro, who ran into the
side of Wilson's machine. Both
cars were damaged and George
Davis, a passenger in Taylor's
car, suffered two fractured ribs.
While the police were diverting
traffic to avoid the wreck, a
truck laden with telephone poles
and driven by Lonnie Parker
rounded the corner, and the rear
ends of the poles sideswiped the
police car, tearing off two fen.
ders and smashing the door.
