       A man by the name of Williams who said he lived at Cameron was placed in county jail late Tuesday night upon suspicion of driving a car

       Deputy Sheriffs J. N. Davis and E. A. Stallworth investigated the wreck following a call from a store near the scene of the accident.
       Williams, in company with another man and a woman, were headed north and met a truck loaded with compressed cotton-bales driven by Casey Jones of Lubbock, when the accident occurred.  The woman was bruised and bleeding and rushed to a hospital in Marlin.  She was released after first-aid treatment and it was found her injuries were not serious.  Williams suffered an abrasion on the nose.  The other man and the driver of the truck were uninjured.
