The sheriff, accompanied by Deputy Prank Bradsher, went out in the Bushy Fork section and while out there went into the ga rage at Bushy Fork crossroads, thinking that it would be well to search every possible place where these men might be. When they went in, one at the front and one at the rear, they recognized a man who had been held on a similar charge in this county. Suspecting that thev were on the right trail. Sheriff Clayton arrested J. C. Shell horse. the man whom they recog nized and another man who was with Shellhorse, Clarence Dardy. Their car had broken down some distance from Bushy Fork and they had brought it to the garage to be fixed. The officers later went back and found the tobacco hidden in a vacant field nearby. They turned the men over to Sheriff Stockard of Alamance County. -u Cars Demolished In Early Morning Crash On last Friday morning two cars, a Chevrolet and a Ford, collided at the intersection of Lamair Street and Reams Avenue. This point is what is known as a "blind" cor ner, that is, one around which you cannot see. due to buildings, etc., built close to the street. It seems that the Ford, driven by* a Mr. Ashley was going north on Lamar Street when it struck the Chevro let, driven by Mr. "Ernest Wins te ad. which was headed toward Main Street, or east. The indications were that neither driver saw the other car until it was too late to avoid a collision. The Ford struck the Chevrolet broadside, almost completely demolishing it. The Ford was damaged to a considerabe ex tent but the Chevrolet was the worst damaged of the two. No one was hurt in the smash-up beyond a few bruises and lacerations. o Rev.
