An echo of an auto accident which occurred here almost a year ago was heard at the court house yesterday when C. M. Lewellyn, administrator, D. B. X., of the estate of Mrs. Julia Dezerne, filed euit against Henry Me- Ciure asking damages in the sum of $5,000. The suit is a result of the death, of Mrs. Dezerne. recluse and hermit woman. who was fatally injured while walking on North Church street near the city limits at Oakwood cemetery last June. It is alleged in the com plaint that Mrs. Dezerne’s death was due to "carelessness" and "negligence" on the part of McClure. (hie night last June Mrs. Dezerne was struck by an auto driven by Mc- Clure, a former police officer of ('on cord. Xo criminal action was tak en. it being reimrted at the time that the accident was unavoidable. Noth ing further was heard of the cose until the civil suit was tiled yester day, Palmer and Blackwelder being counsel for the plaintiff. The defense had not tiled answer this morning. After Mrs. Dezerne was picked, up from the street more than $1,400 in cash was found in a bucket which she carried on her arm. At her hovel home. located in Xo. 4 township, bank certificates of deposit also were found, her total wealth being about $1,700. She was on the county pauper list at one time, and made existence possible by selling berries and the such, which she found, in the woods. She had been berry picking on the night of the accident, it was generally believed. In the complaint it is charged that McClure was "driving at an unlawful rate of speed" and that lie had "no lights on Ill's car" and “insuffieieHt brakes." and if lie had them- things he "negligently and carelessly" failed to use them, with the result t hat lie .struck Mrs. Dezerne. Her death, the complaint sets forth fui tlier, was "caused by the careless ness and negligence of the defendant in driving his automobile at a high, reckless and unlawful rate of speed." HIGH WINDS SWEEP CITY ALL DAY BUT DAMAGE WAS SLIGHT Only Few Broken Limbs Re sult From Unusually High Winds Sweeping the City Wednesday. High winds swept Concord Wednes day but so far as can be learned no I serious damage resulted. There was a decided drop in tem peratures during the night, attributed to the winds, and light wraps evidence here this morning an a re sult. The sun's rays were usually hot during most of the day but with the setting of the sun the wind be came cooler and the mercury took a decided tumble during the night. Throughout Cabarrus county the wind swept .along at a rather rapid rate Wednesday but meager reports from various sections of the county failed to .show any serious damage. In Concord a few limbs were twist ed from trees and one or two smaller trees were reported uprooted. There was no damage to buildings so far us could be learned. , One report reaching the city this morning stated that in Xo. 10 town ship a barn was partially destroyed by the winds, and other n neon firmed reports indicated that a number of out-houses in various sections of the county had been slightly damaged. The winds caused some little un easiness, some fearing tbut they were caused by the weather disturbances which sent tornadoes sweeping through the middle west earlier in the week. The winds never attained anything like tornado proportions, however, and the most serious damage they caused here resulted from dirt being sent helter-skelter into , homes, business houses and manufacturing plants.

"Concord and {Cabarrus people have] .been generous to a marked degree ini givuig money to the flood sufferers, and we expect them to continue their generpsity in our appeal for clothing,” said Mrs. John A, Porter, head of the American Legion Auxiliary, this morning. "At a meeting tonight at 8 o'clock in the Legion club room we are going to perfect plans for the clotbiug drive, and it is my hope that every civic organization in the city will be repre sented at the meeting,” Mrs. Porter continued. "Money paid to the Red Cross for the flood victims has. been needed for food in most instances. Little ot i. has been spent for clothing because' there were other greater needs. For this reason it is imperative that we send Warm, dean clothiug so that the men, women and children who were driven from their homes may have op portunity to change their water-soaked and mud-stained garments for clean, healthy clothing. "We want clothing of all .kind; the only requirement being that it be clean. The need is grent and we want to send the clothing to the Red Cross as soon as possible." . It is probable that nie clothing will he collected next Monday and Tues day. and shipped not later than Wed nesday. A down-town store room will be seen red and all clothing will be tnken there, under tentative plans mapped out by Mrs. Porter and others who have conferred with her. These pains will be perfected at the meeting tonight. "Xo one organization is backing this appeal." Mrs. Porter said further iu discussing the campaign. "This is a community project, n county-wide appeal, and officers of the l.cgion Aux iliary hope the public will feel its responsibility in the matter. ' We can’t sit complacently in com fort while our neighbors suffer, with out doing our part. uie urge Ca barrus people to make their contribu tions as large and as early as pos sible." i , .
