Over Embankment
Albert Wilm,
wealthy young rancher of Morgan, is dying at the Cleburne Sanitarium
as the result of a car turn-over about a mile and a half north of town on the
Ringer suffered a cut on the left hand, but Nichols escaped without a scratch. The car was a Dodge touring. Wilm, who was driving, turned sharply to the right to miss two cows standing in the road, according to Ringer, and the car rolled over the steep embankment.
Wilm was caught, face down, under the back of the front seat. Ringer, also in the front seat, was able to crawl out from under the wreck and helped Nichols out.
The car was pried up with a jack and Wilm taken out, unconscious. A man named Daniels, passing in a Ford car, brought the three to the sanitarium, where they were treated by Dr. U. D. Ezell.
A blood clot had
evidently formed on the brain, Dr. Ezell stated, and shortly after

Wilm never regained consciousness after the accident and was at first thought dead.
The car was not going at a high rate of speed, according to Ringer, who declared that the accident was due entirely to rolling over the embankment. Ringer estimated the speed of the car at about 20 miles an hour.
Wilm owns about 5,000 acres of land near Morgan and a
considerable stock of cattle and sheep.
His father, Sam J. Wilm, was known as a cattle

Three Boys Injured When Match Ignites Gasoline In
Tank
Homer McGowan, son of Mrs. May McGowan of East Willingham street, received a broken arm; Bevy Warren suffered a burned face, throat, right arm and side; Leroy Autrey was slightly scratched, and Everett Mickey and Orian Warren were a bit shaken up Sunday afternoon about 4:40 o’clock when Homer McGowan struck a match and looked into a fifty gallon gasoline container at the rear of the Chapel Tailoring Company, 209 East Henderson Street. It is understood that the container contained but a small amount of gasoline, but just the same, the gases were too strong to remain in the drum, an the explosion which resulted was heard over practically the entire city.
Young McGowan was rushed to a local sanitarium and his broken arm was dressed. He was reported to be resting easily yesterday.
Orian Warren and Everett Mickey had told young McGowan, Autrey and Bevy Warren that they had two bottles of root beer hidden behind Chapel Tailoring Company, and it was that for which the three boys were looking. When McGowan found the contaner, he thought probably the bottles of root beer were inside and when he struck the match he narrowly escaped death in the explosion that followed. Bits of paper and debris were blown about 100 feet in the air and the container was thrown over a one-story building.

Two Arrested In Raid For Stolen Goods

his wife were arrested at their home a mile and a half north of
Among the recovered articles were seven Rhode Island hens, six quilts, a bundle of bed clothing, two chairs, 24 jars of fruit, two hams and a side, a plush rug and four Ford coils.
Complaints about stolen household goods and especially chickens had been coming into the sheriff’s office the last six weeks, according to Deputy Sheriff Joe Crawford, who was in the raid.
Six weeks of work on the case culminated Monday night in the capture of part of the goods and the arrest of the couple.
It is believed that Irvin has sold hundreds of dollars worth of stolen chickens.

Most of the
household goods recovered were found to belong to a man named Ross of
Alvarado. The meat was the property of a
man named Kullpepper, who lives south of Alvarado. The hens belonged partly to
