H. WILCOX, 86 years old, of this village, is dead, and Mrs. E. SABINE, 89 years old, his sister, and Mrs. Austin SABINE are in a serious condition as a result of the automobile accident near Morrisville yesterday. The brakes failed to hold on a long hill and the car left the road and overturned in a creek, pinning the occupants underneath. The three were on their way from West Eaton, home of the SABINES, where Mr. WILCOX was visiting, to Morrisville, to have the brakes on the auto adjusted. A dirt road leads from West Eaton to the improved highway between Eaton and Morrisville. Mrs. SABINE'S car gathered momentum down the steep decline and as she attempted to make the sharp right-hand turn toward Morrisville the car continued across the improved stretch, into a small creek at the side and upset, pinning the occupants beneath. Mrs. Austin SABINE and the three were in water 20 minutes before other motorists succeeded in cutting a hole in the top of the car to take them out. She said they were not covered with water. The creek was about two feet deep. Mr. WILCOX is believed to have died instantly. The elder, Mrs. SABINE suffered a broken wrist, ?? broken ribs and numerous ??? bruises. The younger Mrs. SABINE has body and head cuts and is suffering from shock. Authorities learned that the woman tried to push the machine into low gear, but evidently that action failed and did not stop the car. Mr. WILCOX lived at Waterloo ???years with a daughter, Jessie WILCOX JONES, who taught in the village schools, but who is now in Hamilton. He has two other daughters, Mrs. John JONES, post-mistress at West Eaton and Mrs. ?? KINEY, of Hamilton, besides the ???ter, Mrs. SABINE. **** CORNING YOUNG MAN RECEIVES BULLET IN NECK Corning, July 15 - William SIMMONDS, Corning young man, is in the Corning Hospital with a bullet in his neck.
