Pearl Allman,of Prattsville, while riding west on his motorcycle met with an 
accident that resulted in his death after colliding with an car occupied by 
G.H. Nutt and Miss A.G. Potter of Dayton who were on their way to Albany. The 
accident happened on the hill,a short distance east of the home of Albert 
Pearse. Apparently there was a rough place in the road that changed the course 
of the motor cycle, which crashed into the car causing it to  turn over and 
threw out the occupants.

Mr Pearse's home, heard the crash when the accident occured. They rushed to 
the scene and  found Allman lying on the road under his motorcycle. His skull 
was crushed, his face and body horribly mangled and bruised.

Dr. James was called and Allman was taken to his home at Prattsville. He was 
later taken to  Zaleski and from there over the B & O to Chillicothe, where he 
was taken to the hospital, but he died just after reaching Chillicothe.

Mr. Nutt and Miss Poitter the occupants of the car did not have any serious 
injuries. Miss Potter had  a dislocated shoulder, which Dr. James attended to 
and after remaining here over night at the Will Housecontinued on their way 
Monday in their car which had been repaired at the Martindill Bros garage.
