J.E. Brown of Waco, who was driving a truck for the Bollinger Produce Co. of that place, was critically injured when he crashed into a railing on the embankment crossing Deer creek a mile below town.  It is said that he stated that he had lost a lot of sheep and must have dozed off.  The top rail of the fence was driving through the truck, striking him in the lower part of the body.  The truck was almost demolished in the crash from the embankment.
