J.H. Lee, medicine salesman, giving his home address as Shelby, is at large under $250 bond for his appearance before Recorder P.S. Kornegay here this week as the result of an accident which occurred Saturday afternoon on the Elizabethtown highway about three miles east of here.
According to Mr. Lee, he was driving his Ford car toward Lumberton and accidentally ran into a wagon driving by Mr. Willie Davis. Mrs. Davis, who was riding in the wagon with her husband, was injured and is undergoing treatment at the Baker sanatorium here, where she was brought immediately after the wreck. It is understood that Mr. Lee secured transportation to bring her to the sanatorium, and accompanied her here. The wagon was badly damaged and the mule was slightly injured. Mr. Lee’s car was damaged beyond driving. He will be charged with speeding, reckless driving, and possibly assault with a deadly weapon.
