Plymouth car. When near the

attempted to pass them, when
the two cars came too close to-

It is said that the V-8, driven
by Odam Kerley and Frank Harris
turned over two or three times,
cuving in one side of the car, and
that the two boys were thrown
through the top of the car, land-
ing 20 or 30 feet away from the
wreckage. Odam received a fractur-
ed skull, a broken collar bone and
several minor bruises. Frank Harris
received a larceration over the
