  Sabine Parish recorded another traffic fatality with the death
of Mr. Grover Dyess of Robeline, who was pronounced dead on
arrival at a Many hospital Sunday, Feb. 25. The accident occurred
south of Hodges Gardens, on Hwy. 171, about 2:20 p.m., when a

Railroad St. in Many, was attempting to pass a 1973 Cadillac,
driven by Willie O. Dyess of Shreveport, as they were coming down
a hill. When Jones pulled out into the left lane, a car was
coming, so he cut back into the right lane, and hit the Cadillac
near the rear.

injured, and Willie Dyess was rushed to the hospital in
Shreveport, where his condition is unknown at this time.

  Investigating the accident were La. State Police Officers,
