March 3, 1928 WINNETKA" TALK Four Collisions Feature Sabbath Motoring Locally Four automobile accidents occurred in Winnetka Sunday evening. At 6:20, a cab driven by A. H. Tanner and a car driven by R. Wachsman of 604 Glencoe road, Glencoe, collided at Elm and Center streets, with slight damage resulting, according to the report of Sergeant Ed Cummings and Patrolman Frank Rayburn. A short time later, Mr. Schwitzer of 2322 Ridge avenue, Evanston, drove his car into a tree at Foxdale and Humbolt avenues, wrecking both front wheels and the radiator, according to Officer Harold Lewis. Schwitzer was not aware that Foxdale terminates at Humbolt, and did not detect the fact in time to avoid running into the tree. Damage Was "Plenty" At 11 o'clock Sunday evening, Pa- trolman Frank Rayburn reported a collision of two cars at Center street and Winnetka avenue, driven by A. E. Wolff of Ridge and Wilmette avenues, Wilmette, and Wallace Carlson of 188 Forest avenue, Winnetka. Neither driver was injured, according to the report of Officer Rayburn, who lacon- ically added, "the damage to the .cars was aplenty." The fourth accident Sunday evening was at Green Bay and Tower roads, where, according to the report of Officer H. C. Lewis, Charles Ould of 16 Vine street, Lake Forest, stopped, preparatory to turning west on Tower, when an approaching car hit his car head-on, the impact breaking the front axle of Ould's car. The driver of the other car, it is said, backed out of the wreck and hastened on his way, with- out stopping to ascertain the extent of the damage, and before Ould could get his car license number.
