The Edmonson County News
      Will D. Meredith, aged citizen of Rhoda, escaped serious injury 
Wednesday afternoon when he was knocked down by a car which was not stopped 
by the driver at the scene of the accident, but was later abandoned at the 
top of "Rabbit Point".  According to witnesses three young men were in the 
car whose identities have not yet been definitely established.

      When informed of the accident and also that the car had been abandoned 
by the occupants, Deputy Sheriff George Reed went to the scene and guarded 
the car until it was learned that the machine was the property of Gilbert 
Webb, who was then in school at Kyrock.  It was also learned that the car 
was driven to Brownsville by Lonnard Webb brother of Gilbert and a warrant 
was issued for him.  Lonard gave $500 bond for his appearance before Judge 
Houchin's court.

            The accident occurred at the intersection of the Rocky Hill and 
Chalybeate roads, and it is said that the car brushed against Mr. Meredith 
causing him to fall with much force.  He suffered cuts and bruises on the 
head, but was not believed to be seriously hurt
