Fatally Injured In Automobile Accident Wed.

Car Jumps An Embankment And Lands Twenty Five Feet Away Turning Summer Sault

Nathan Jackson, negro of Sikes is dead, and Frank Primer, another negro of
Joyce has a broken collar bone as a result of an automobile accident on the
Pershing highway a few hundred yards north of Machen's filling station
Wednesday afternoon about three o'clock.

Primer, Nathan and Ausy Jackson, were coming into Winnfield, Primer driving in
a Ford touring car, when the car left the road and after a few feet hit the
embankment leading into Dr. F. C. Wren's field.  The car was going at such a
rapid rate of speed that it jumped this embankment and landed against the side
of a ditch some twenty five feet away, tripped on the right front axle and
completely turned a summer sault forward.  The top was torn off and
considerable other damage done to the car and injuries received by Nathan
Jackson proved fatal about fifteen minutes later.  Ausy Jackson, brother to
Nathan was uninjured, while Primer sustains a broken collar bone with other
minor bruises.
