Sharpsburg Negro Killed In Auto Wreck 
   Ernest Lane, Sharpsburg Negro, about 19 years old, was killed Sunday 
afternoon, when a car in which he was riding collided with a car driven 
by Alfred Fawns on the Sharpsburg road near the home of Albert Wells.  
The accident took place on the sharp curve almost in front of Mr. Well's 
home on in a driving rain, accompanying a heavy thunder storm that 
passed over this section of the county about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. 
   There was two other Negro boys in the car with Lane, but neither 
of them were seriously injured, nor was Mr. Fawns or any of his family 
accompanying him hurt, although their car was knocked off the road and 
came very near going over an embankment into Prickly Ash creek. 
   The car driven by the Negro boys was headed toward Sharpsburg and 
crashed into the Fawns car just on the curve. 
   The dead man sustained a crushed skull and other serious injuries.  
He died before he could be removed from the car.
