Ten other persons were injured in the accident. The accident occurred about 8 o'clock Sunday night on the crest of the hill ½ mile north of the Fred Swanson farm. Both cars were in the center of the road as the weeds are high on either side of the county road. William Cartwright, driver of the car going north was on the way to the farm of his brother-in-law, who had been ill. In the front seat with the driver was Mina Glenn, mother-in-law of Mr. Cartwright. Charles Ruckman of Lincoln, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Glenn and his son, Jerry were in the back seat. C. W. Rakestraw was the driver of the other car, they were coming to Wolbach to attend the movie. In the front seat with Mr. Rakestraw was his wife and two year old granddaughter, Linda Grice. In the back seat was Mr. and Mrs. James Grice and 5 month daughter and Janice Rakestraw. Mrs. Grice is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rakestraw. James Grice, the first to regain consciousness after the collision walked ½ mile to the Fred Swanson farm, there being no one home, he used their phone and was able to get Mrs. Austin Berney and tell her of the need for help. Mrs. Berney immediately summoned other neighbors to help in getting the victims to medical care. The injured arrived in Wolbach about nine o'clock and were then taken on to St. Paul. Four cars were used to take the victims from Wolbach to St. Paul. Two ambulances were waiting in St. Paul to take the most critically injured on to Grand Island. Mina Glenn, William Cartwright, Mr. and Mrs. Rakestraw and Charles Ruckman were taken to Grand Island. Mr. Grice and small daughter have been released from the St. Paul hospital. The condition of Mrs. Grice, Linda Grice, Jerry Ruckman and Janice Rakestraw who are in the St. Paul hospital is reported as being good. According to reports before we go to press, of those in the St. Francis Hospital at Grand Island is as follows: William Cartwright, fair; C. W. Rakestraw, fair; Charles Ruckman, poor; and Mrs. C. W.
