Cade Johnson

  Cade Johnson, a 78 year old Negro man from Florien, died at
Fraser Hospital Monday night, from injuries received in a head on
two car collision, which occurred about six tenths of a mile west
of the Florien city limits. Four other persons, all Negroes from
Florien, were injured.

  The accident occurred about 5:15 p.m. James Holden was traveling
east on Highway 474, in a '64 Ford, when he observed an
approaching car in his lane of travel. He swerved to the left as
Johnson, the driver of the other car, a '63 Pontiac owned by
Daniel Willis, swerved to the right. The Two cars met
approximately three feet across the center line in the west bound
traffic lane, according to Sgt. C. J. Miller of the State Police,
who investigated the accident.

  Willis was taken to Fraser Hospital, and transferred to a
Shreveport hospital for further treatment. Anna Johnson, wife of
the deceased, Holden, and Diane Hunt, a 14 year old female
passenger in the Holden car, were all taken to Fraser Hospital
for treatment.

  According to Sgt. Miller, both vehicles were totally demolished,
and Johnson and Willis were both drinking.
