LATHAM MAN DIES FROM CAR HURTS

WALLACE BLANKENBAKER IS FATALLY INJURED IN CRASH NEAR OLMITZ, KANSAS

Wallace Blankenbaker, aged 34 years of Latham, received injuries that resulted 
in his death and Ernest Heacock, aged 22 years, of Owatonna, Minn., sustained 
lacerations on his face and skin abrasions on his body in an automobile 
accident near Olmitz, in the central part of the state, Wednesday evening, 
according to information reaching El Dorado today. Blankenbaker died shortly 
after being taken to the Adams Hospital in Olmitz. The condition of Heacock, 
who is in the same hospital is reported to be serious.

Both men had been employed in laying a pipe line from the gas fields near Otis 
and Bushton, but it is said they had been laid off recently. The accident 
occurredwhen the two men are said to have been going to a dance at Olmitz.

The cause of the crash is not known, Heacock was the owner of the car, a 
roadster, and he was driving. The car was found upside down in a field.

Blankenbaker was fairly well known in the Latham Community it was said here 
today.

No funeral arrangements were available today, but it is probable the body of 
Blankenbaker will be brought to Latham for interment.
