Auto Accidents at Randsburg Highlight Reckless Driving
Three recent automobile accidents in Randsburg illustrate dangerous driving and lack of police regulation on a single day. Dave Staatz wrecked his flivver on Johannesburg road but escaped injury. Grace Ellison’s Ford, with passengers including Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Blue, struck bystanders near Union Hall. injuries minor but notable as cars parked on both sides left little room to maneuver. Mrs. Linton, wife of the railroad agent at Searles, died at home after a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Dr. Denton rushed to aid but could not save her.

In two weeks Randsburg will run a daily mail service with four Searles days for first and second class matter and three Johannesburg days for all mail including parcel post. E D Blanck inspected the Coyote claim underground with the company and a consulting engineer. D A Blue has received payment sealing the sale of the Black Hawk Gold mine. Fred Colbert will finish milling high grade ore under the three way contract with D A Blue. The milling occurred at the Butte mill last Saturday.
