Last Saturday afternoon, as a result of reckless driving, a big auto was wrecked near Chapel Hill, when two were killed, Ralph Webster, aged 20, son of J.W. Webster of Burlington, and J.E. Marin of Durham. Three others were seriously hurt, Leon Bell, Ben Thompson and Lewis Allen. The homes of the last two are in Southern Alamance near Snow Camp. The boys, it appears, had spent the day in Alamance, but worked in Durham. In attempting to pass another car at high speed, the car struck a side ditch. The driver, an Assyrian, was arrested and lodged in jail.
