Head-on Crash
Kills 4, Injures 5
GRAFTON, W. Va., April 11
| (TP).—Four persons were killed
and five others injured yesterday
in a head-on auto collision on
i U. S. Route 50, about 25 miles
east of here.
State Police Corpl. W. L. Pike
said the mishap occurred on a
stretch of mountain road near
the town of Erwin. He said both
cars were demolished and virtu
ally welded together so that a
: tow car had to pry them apart.
Corpl. Pike said one of the
cars, driven by Vernon Benton.
51, of Osage City, Kan., ap-|
patently was on the wrong side
of the road. Mr. Benton, driver :
of a westbound 1955 sedan, was
killed outright.
The officer identified the other
dead as:
Simm Joseph Wyatt, 47, Bar
relvllle, Md., owner of a 1948
sedan going east, who also was
killed instantly.
Russell E. Carr, 48, Barrelville,
driver of the Wyatt celt, who died
in Grafton City Hospital about
two hours after the accident.
Mrs. Sylvia Wyatt, 68-year-old
mother of Simm Wyatt and a
resident of Mount Savage. She
died en route to the hospital.
Warm Mail Box
HAVEN, Kans (TP).— Neighbors
smiled when they saw the mail
box at the Ray Tuttle farm clad
in a jacket with fur collar. But
it wasn't to keep the mail box
warm, explained the Tuttles.
They'd found the jacket lying in
the road and figured the loser |
might come by again and reclaim
it.
