(The Chilton News)

J.E. Brown of Waco, who was driving a truck for the Bollinger Produce Co. of

that place, was critically injured when he crashed into a railing on the

embankment crossing Deer creek a mile below town. It is said that he stated

that he had lost a lot of sheep and must have dozed off. The top rail of the

fence was driving through the truck, striking him in the lower part of the

body. The truck was almost demolished in the crash from the embankment.

Mrs. A. E. Lockerd, who has been confined to her bed for the past six weeks,

was given a family reunion Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gates and four children, Roy Cooley, Carson and Chas.

Eakin and Miss Amanda Eakin, were stricken with ptomaine poison last Friday.

Although living in adjoining houses, the source of the poison has not been

determined. Probably the worst affected was Chas. Eakin, who was in Waco

when stricken. He was unable to be brought Sunday night, but is still

confined to his home.
