ROCHESTER, Monroe, NY Times Union May 13, 1918 THREE AUTO ACCIDENTS AT GENESEO Geneseo, May 13 - No less than three auto accidents occurred in and about Geneseo Saturday and Sunday, any one of which might easily have been fatal. The first one was Saturday afternoon when four Castile residents, Joe JACOBSON, Stanley MLYNICE, Andrew CYGAN and Joseph GUGULA, traveling 40 miles an hour in a new automobile, somehow let their machine get out of control, though no other cars were close by, and after turning a somersault made a second half turn and landed with the frame of the machine at a little more than a right angle with the state road, caving in the upper part of the radiator and damaging the top of the machine. The men were badly cut. The five quarts of whisky in the machine were taken charge of by the sheriff, also the occupants of the car when they were through with the physician. They will have to answer to the charge of bringing intoxicants through "dry" territory. Suspecting that the four were not the only parties from Wyoming County sojourning in Avon, Sheriff O'LEARY threw out a cordon of constables to intercept them, the officers comprising Deputies MANN, VANALLEN, CAREY, SEITH and HARRIS. Three other booze-laden cars were stopped, containing the following Perry residents: Broneslau KEIDEL, Mike BYNESS, John MYSSNEAK, John SMITH, Casmar KEIDEL, Harry ADAMS, George RUPER, Shirley SHORT, William McCANN and Allie ECKERT. The four occupants of the damaged car have already been released on $500 bail each and several of the occupants of the other cars have been released on similar bail or soon will be. The other automobiles first, referred to as having met with accidents were damaged Sunday, but not as a result of intoxicants. One of them happened when two foreigners driving new cars in opposite directions wrecked them in a head-on collision at Cuylerville <snip> didn't get the rest. **** ACCIDENTLY SHOOTS CHILD Auburn, May 13 - Leah FEARING, aged 13, was accidently shot by her father, Charles N.
