    KILLED IN CRASH

    Minor Hurts.

    Manchester, Ia. - Henry Douglas Slauson, 24, of Sand Springs, Ia., in southeast Delaware county, aviation ordnance man second class. USNR, home on furlough, was instantly killed in an automobile accident at 4 a.m. Friday town miles east of Sand Springs.
    He was returning from a dance at Worthington with Miss Phyllis DeShaw. At the point where the accident occurred there are two bridges.
    Slauson's car passed safely over the first one, when apparently the machine went out of control and crashed into the guard rail of the second bridge. About 10 feet of the rail was torn off, went through the windshield and struck the navy man in the head, fracturing his skull.
    Miss DeShaw, who suffered only minor injuries, went to a nearby farm home for help.
    Slauson was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Slauson of Sand Springs.
    Sheriff Carl Anderson of Manchester and Arthur G. Platt, Delaware county coroner, investigated the accident and Platt said there will not be an inquest.
    Slauson's body was taken to the Hoover funeral home at Hopkinton.
