MAN INJURED IN
THREE-CAR CRASH
W. S. Teeter in Serious Condition At St. Mary's
Hospital Saginaw
One man is ln St. Mary's hospital
in a serious condition, an automobile
was destroyed by fire and another
machine was badly damaged as a result of a three ear collision on the
Williamson road, near Bridgeport, at
7 o'clock Monday night.
The injured man is William S.
Teeter, 269 Deleware avenue, Flint.
His car crashed into one that had
been driven by Truman Smith, 154
Fitzhugh street, Grand Rapids, after
Smith's car had partly gone into the
ditch following a slight collision with
another machine driven by S. A. Sorn-
mers of Frankenmuth.
According to the story Smith told
to sheriff's deputies he was driving
toward Bridgeport. Sommers was
going in the opposite direction. Because of the slippery condition of the
road, Smith said his car struck that
of Sommers, but little damage resulted. Smith's car was partly on the
road and partly in the ditch. He and
Mr. Sommers saw another car coming from Saginaw and both men tried
to flag the driver but apparently
Teeter failed to see or heed the warning and his car crashed into Smith's
machine which almost immediately
burst into flames. Teeter was pulled
from his car which was badly damaged.—Saginaw Daily.

Ex-ray was taken Tuesday to deter-

and it was believed that an operation
would be performed to relieve the
pressure from the lungs as breathing
has been very difficult. He has been
conscious from the beginning. Although his injuries are serious, doctors are confident of his recovery.

BUCK DEER FOUND
SHOT IN OIL FIELD
Warden Fred Thomas was investigating Monday afternoon a report
of a large buck deer found shot in the
Mt. Pleasant-Midland oil fields. The
deer was reported in the morning.
While conservation officers held
little hope of discovering the person
who shot the deer, the investigation
is chiefly to prevent continued illegel
shooting of deer in Midland and
Isabella .counties.
Fire wardens and their crews who
fought fires in the oil fields last summer, reported seeing several deer ln
that area at the time.—Mt. Pleasant

Twenty ChildrenHave Been
Clothed For Winter in
Campaign to Relieve
•Suffering
The ladies of Clare are taking a
rekl sincere interest in the Red Cross
and are diligently working to alternate suffering In Clare county. Already about twenty children have
been clothed. Every case was carefully Investigated and found very
much in need ot the assistance given.
In many instances it was found that
thet child had no underwear and only
worn out over clothing, some cases
the child had no stockings ahd its
feet on the ground.
The ladles from the Glare Study
Club have co-operated to the finest
extent in getting in suitable discarded clothing. About twelve ladies of
the Red Cross and Study Club have
met on several days at the home of
Mrs. John Nelson and made over
clothing to fit each child in need.
Much credit is due them for their
efforts. The assistance Of Miss Yoder,
Red Cross nurse has been very valuable in this work.
It is hoped that anyone who might
have suitable discarded or out-grown
stockings will see either Mrs. John
Nelson or T. Carl Holbrook as much
work is yet to. be done to care for
those in need in Clare county.
