Two Minor
Taxi driver Horace Baty’s car
was slightly damaged
struck by a car occupied by two
negroes from Birmingham, Ala.
The negroes car was
north when another car
out in front of them near the
Shell Service Station south
the Trenton square, when
driver slammed on his brakes
his car slid into Baty’s car. No
one was njured. The Negroes
were charged with speeding.
Another minor accident oc-
cured on a curve at White Oak
Gap when a car turned over,
badly damaging the car but in¬
juring no one. Sheriff Allison
Blevins states he does not know
who was driving the auto as no
one has claimed the old model
car, and no one admits having
been in the car at the time of

Shell Service Station, and has
an Alabama license. It is be¬
lieved the driver, who ever he
is was drunk at the time of the
wreck.
