W. J. Keeling of Mexia was in a critical condition at Baylor hospital Saturday
morning after the car in which he was riding ran into a concrete culvert near
Wilmer Friday night. The accident occurred after a tire blew out, investigating
officers said. 

Keeling is suffering from a broken jaw, a probable fractured skull and two
broken legs. He is a cattle buyer. R. V. Willford of Wortham, a lawyer, was in
the same hospital with a broken jaw, severe cuts and bruises and several teeth
knocked out.

W. A. Posey of Wortham, a cotton ginner, was confined with a broken arm and
nose, and his cheek bones probably fractured. Williford and Posey were in the
car with Keeling.
