SMALLER CAR BADLY DAMAGED IN EARLY MORNING CRASH
Geneva, April 26 - This morning shortly after 5 o'clock in the state road between Geneva and Waterloo a collision
between two automobiles occurred, in which the lighter car was put entirely out of commission. The accident occurred
about four miles east of Geneva when the two cars met, one a truck loaded with steel and driven by Roy E. OTIS,
of Canandaigua, enroute to Syracuse, and the car owned and driven by Lamber DALTON, of Waterloo, coming towards
Geneva.
DALTON claims that the truck was without lights at the time. Before he discovered it the heavy truck was upon him
and smashed into his left side, tearing away the running board, smashing the radiator and damaging the car almost
beyond repair. OTIS claimed, in his report to the police, that he had one light burning at the time and that the
headlights on the DALTON car blinded him so that he could not see. The DALTON car was hauled to the DelPapa garage
in Lake street and the truck proceeded on its journey to Syracuse, after making the report to the local police.

Canandaigua, April 26 - M. F. HELT, a tailor of this place, and Morris ARONSON, of Rochester, 28 and 29 years of
age, respectively, were injured in an accident near Flint, in the Canandaigua-Geneva turnpike, yesterday shortly
before noon when a car belonging to Louis N. SHENKMAN, clothing merchant of this city, was overturned in the road.
It is said that SHENKMAN lost control of the car, which skidded and turned turtle. HELT suffered a badly lacerated
scalp and many bruises and ARONSON was bruised about the face quite severely, but was able to walk following the
accident.
It was at first thought that HELT's skull might be fractured, but it was later ascertained that the bone was uninjured.
The injured men were brought to the Thompson Memorial Hospital here by Dr. WILLIAMSON, of Gorham, and their injuries
dressed by him and Dr. Harry C. BUELL, of this city. The new automobile, which SHENKMAN had purchased only a few
days ago, was badly wrecked.

WOMAN KNOCKED DOWN AND DRAGGED BY CAR
Injuries, However, are Not Serious as Result
Bath, April 26 - Mrs. Walter BENNETT narrowly escaped serious injury yesterday afternoon, when she was knocked
down and dragged beneath an automobile driven by a Mr. VAN GORDER, of Owego. The accident occurred in Liberty street,
near the junction of William street.
Mrs. BENNETT in crossing the street observed the car approaching at an estimated speed of twenty miles an hour.
Thinking the car was to turn into William street, she paused to allow it to pass. Instead the driver changed his
mind, evidently, for the car turned suddenly at the corner, and as it swerved into a straight course north on Loberty
street, Mrs. BENNETT was struck. The depending crank of the motor caught Mrs. BENNETT between the shoulders, and
face downward she was forced beneath the car and dragged about fifteen feet, before the operation of the brakes
brought the car to a standstill.
Mr. VAN GORDER took Mrs. BENNETT at once to the office of Dr. Zeno SELLECK. She suffered a cut over the left eye;
the entire left side of her face was bruised and lacerated where she was dragged on the pavement; one leg was wrenched
where her slipper had caught in the steering gear rows beneath the car; she was bruised between the shoulders,
and her left hand was lacerated. Although her injuries are not serious, she will be confined to her home for some
days.
