TWO CARS COLLIDE
AT NEW DOVER BRIDGE

Deputy Sheriff Alva M oore
was called out at 8 a. m. Friday,
to investigate an accident on the
east side of the New Dover
bridge in which an A. j. Heron
transfer truck driven by William
Schory, of Salem, and a 1895
Dodge driven by Harley A. Nc
Clannan, of Piqua, collided. the
accident is blamed on the icy sur
face on the bridge and road left
by the first signs of winter that
were present last week.
According to Deputy NJ oore,
McClannan had just crossed the
bridge and could not turn away
from the truck that was waiting
just across the bridge. McClan-
nan was heading east and the
truck west. Slight damage Was
done to the left front fender OF
the truck while the both sides OF
