Auto crashes into tree after clipping car
Three First Ward youths escaped serious injuries when their auto swerved to avoid a car and struck a maple tree at the North Center and Bond streets intersection about 7 30. Robert Woodworth 17 of 929 East Pleasant street driver of the Word car was believed injured but later released. Rapala Rathbun 15 of 290 East street and Joe Marty 15 of 4 East street sustained cuts and bruises though not seriously. The Woodworth car, a delivery vehicle for Wilcox Grocery, clipped a Chevrolet driven by Louise Sinclair of Gridley Hotel New York. The impact hurled the car onto the curb and around the tree as slick pavement from recent oiling made control difficult. Woodworth was treated at the scene and then released after a hospital checkup. Rathbun required scalp wound care. Marty was hospitalized briefly. Patrolman Ross Mead investigated.
