led the singing, and this was said

Badly Hurt In
Auto Accident |
WOMAN PROBABLY FATALLY IN-
JURED WHEN CAR TURNS
OVER
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Mason went to
Dallas Sunday to spend a few days
on business.
Mrs. J. B. Johnson, of Cookville,
was probably fatally injured Satur-
day afternoon when the car in which
she was riding turned over near here.
The car was driven by her husband,
and occupied by these two and Mrs.
Henry Johnson, also of Cookville.
They were coming here to do some
shopping and were driving rather
fast, so that when they attempted to
pass another car their car struck the
hub of the other car and was turned
over.
Mrs. Johnson was the only one in
the car who was injured, and she was
hurried here and placed under the
care of a doctor, who discovered that
she had received a fracture of the
skull and was very dangerously hurt.
She also sustained internal injuries,
which caused hemorrhages, and it is
feared that she has only a small
chance for recovery.
Miss Ruth Scurlock returned to
her home in Tyler Monday, after
spending the week end with Miss
1 Dell Hess.
