OBITUARY: 

YOUTH KILLED WHEN TRUCK TURNS OVER. 
Death of Albert [Elbert] Baker, 21, Marks Second Fatality Within 48 Hours. 
Marion county's second fatal automobile accident within 48 hours was chalked up at 2:30 p. m. yesterday when Albert Baker, 21, 483 South Commercial, was killed when the truck in which he was riding crashed into a ditch near the girls' industrial school. Harry Turner, 2460 Laurel avenue, owner and driver of the truck, was injured. According to report of the state police, Baker was accompanying Turner, a local wood dealer, to Turner for a load of wood. The truck crashed into a ditch and turned over, one quarter mile south of the industrial school. Both Baker and Turner were rushed to the Salem Deaconess hospital where attending physicians employed artificial respiratory measures in an attempt to save Baker's life. He died without regaining consciousness shortly after arriving at the hospital. Turner is expected to recover. Turner reported to state police that his truck was force off the highway by an approaching automobile which was speeding on the wrong side of the road. The car failed to stop, he said. Officers who investigated the re wreck were unable to substantiate the report of the second car. The accident victim was the son of George Baker, R. F. D. 6. He was married and is survived by his wife and two children, one three weeks old.
