THREE CARS COLLIDE AT ROCHESTER HILL Two Injured Persons at the Frisbie Hospital, One with Broken Rib A bad accident occurred Sunday evening on south Main Street just above the Boivin garage. Oliver Dubreuil of Gonic in a Chevrolet sedan, closely followed by napoleon Houle in the Somersworth mall truck, was going down Rochester hill when they met Edward J. Gibson of North Rochester, who was on his way to Dover. In some way Gibson hit the Dubreuil car from Gonic and then dashed into the mail truck. Miss Jeanette Magnon of Somersworth, an occupant of the truck, was badly shaken up and received cuts and bruises. She was taken to the house of Charles E. Goodwin near by but later was removed to the Frisbie Memorial hospital for treatment. Gibson was badly injured, received a fractured rib, and several bad cuts and bruises. It was decided to have him X-rayed to determine the full extent of his injuries, following his arrival at the Frisbie Memorial hospital. The cars were badly damaged and the other people in them were fortunate in only receiving minor injuries. Miss Magnon was on her way to visit her brother, Tony Magnon, who is receiving treatment at the Frisbie Memorial hospital, but on her arrival she was admitted as a patient instead of a visitor. UNSANITARY HOME Couple Before court charged Also with Neglecting Their Children Mr. and Mrs. Elroy Howard of 98 North Main Street were brought before the local municipal court Saturday on charge of neglecting their children and keeping an unsanitary house. The warrant was issued at the office of County Solicitor Burt R. Cooper on complaint of an agent of the New Hampshire Children’s aid society. State Officer Joseph Duval of the State Department of Health and Health Officer Charles E. Goodwin testified as to many complaints received concerning unclean condition of the home and the children. Officer Goodwin stated that it was at this home the first death occurred in connection with the four deaths which the State Board of Health stated were intestinal trouble. The child was Hazel Howard, aged 2. Judge Samuel D. Felker found them to be guilty and imposed a sentence of thirty days at the house of correction, the same to be suspended if there were improvements made in the present conditions. The Howard case was brought to light in connection with investigations being made relative to the four children who were afflicted with the malady which so suddenly ended in their deaths. **************************************************************************** * * * * Notice: Printing the files within by non-commercial individuals and libraries is encouraged, as long as all notices and submitter information is included.
