Two Die In Saturday Wreck
At Route SO intersection
Faulty Brakes
Blamed In Deaths

Faulty brakes were given as the
cause of two deaths at the inter-
section of Routes 38 and % at
about 8 pm. Saturday evening, ac-
cording to State Patrolman, r. f.
Brandon, who investigated Mrs.
Cora Saygrover, 49, Marysyille,
was found dead at the scene, and
ROLAND Crider 16, also of Marys-
vile, died en- route to the hospital,
Patrolman Brandon said Two
others, Fleta Anthony, 40, Marys-
vile, and Ella Acton 62, Coldwater,
Ohio, are in critical condition at
Mt. Carmel Hospital.
According to the report, the Say
grover station-wagon failed to stop
at the intersection and crashed

Acton is said to be in critical con-
dition. Fleta Anthony, mother of
the two Anthony girls, is suffering
from a compound leg fracture and
possible head injuries and is also
listed as critical.
No skid marks were visible at
the scene which led to the belief
that neither car slowed down be-
fore the impact. The Acton auto
was found in a field Isl feet from
the place of impact. The Saygrover
vehicle hit a pole, it was said. Both
of the dead and critically injured
were thrown from the cars. It was

proceed cautiously when it was
found that grease may have got

The Actions were returning home
to Coldwater after a trip. Those
in the Saygrover car were said to
be returning home from a All

OoPSIE- DAISY!

Two young girls, aged 9 and
10, took a ride Sunday which
will live in their memories for
years to come. The girls, Eve
lyn Jackson and Pa m e ! a
Crabbe, were sitting on the
seat of a tractor on the jack
son farm near South Charles
ton when one of them accident
ally threw in the clutch.
The tractor promptly crashed
into a tree, almost overturned,
but righted itself and numbered
on right through a board fence
wheeled around, went
through a wire fence and then
through the back wall of a ce-
ment block building, tearing
a 12-foot-square hole in the
structure. Then it stopped.
Pamela was crouched be-
meath the steering wheel un-
der the seat. Evelyn somehow,
had crawled out onto a disc
behind the tractor.
The girls had no comment.
They were too scared to talk,
Mr.. Jackson said. Neither had
even been on tractor before,
and they don't want on another
one.
Mr.. Jackson says the tractor
motor was warm, and it was
left in fourth next to high)
gear, so it must have travelled
between six and seven miles an
hour. He estimated the damage
at about $50.
The Jackson farm is on the
Midway rd., five miles south
of South Charleston. Pamela is
the daughter of neighboring Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Crabbe.
