AUTOMOBILE QUITS ROAD

Driver Receives Deep Cut On Top of
Head--Picked Up by Passing Motorist.

     With a deep gash in top of the head received when his automobile turned over, Clifton Steen, widely known citizen of Lott, was brought to a Marlin hospital at 7 o'clock Thursday evening by Ernest Fivel, truck operator, with headquarters in Waco.  Mr. Fivel said he and his wife were en route to Houston in their touring car when they saw a car overturned on the left of the road.

     They immediately investigated and found Mr. Steen near the car bleeding profusely from the cut on the head.

     They placed him in their automobile and brought him to Marlin, where his injuries were given attention.

     Steen was coming into Marlin, from the south.  About 200 yars after he reached the hard surfaced highway north of Big creek he met another car and turned to the right to pass.  In doing so, he got off the road and into the ditch.  His car crossed the ditch and struck the barbwire fence beyond, turning over and landing on its top.

     The car top was crushed, windshield broken out, and the vehicle damaged generally.

     Physicians attending Mr. Steen said today he had a spine injury the extent of which had not been determined and that were indications a moderate concussion of the bra(in).
