The dead man has been identif|ed as Bruce Car- about 26, of Durham. Papers found on him bore this name and address. Efforts were being made this afternon to make the identifi cation positive.

FORD CAB AND A " WHIPPET COLLIDE Ford Entering Highway at Marlcr Huns Head-On Into Another; One Painfully Injured. A Ford touring car driven by Buster Brown, of Cycle, ran head-on into the side of a Whippet coupt which was traveling west on the Boone Trail Highway Sunday, re sulting in painful injury to Miss Hester Newman, one of the occu pants of the Whippet car. The Whippet was being driven by Johnny Jones, and with was Gus Swalm, both of High Point, and Mrs. Laura Newman and daughter, M!bs Hester, and son. Ray. of In diana. Just as they approached the cross road at Mariei, the Ford cdme into the highway and crashed into the side of their car, overturning it and pinning three of the occupants beneath. Miss Newman received nu merous cuts and bruises, especially to her knee, and medical aid was necessary.' She was carried to the Wilkes Hospital for treatment im mediately after the accident. According to witnesses. Brown, driver of the Ford car, was respon sible for the collision, haring en tered from a cross road into the highway without stopping or ascer taining if the road was clear before driving onto ft.. But for keen observation of driv ers on the road at tßat time and close behind the Whippet, other cars would have joined in the smash-up unavoidably, as several cars were close behind on the high way following the course of the car that was hit by Mr. Brown. No ar rests were m*4* at the time of the accident, although Mr. Jones took the number of the Ford fw tuture reference.
