SEVERAL BLOCKS OF DESTRUCTION followed the path of Jacquelyn
Dickey's car on Saturday after she lost control of the vehicle in the 100
block of South Ave. Q, and managed to keep the car in motion down to
Ave. N and 5th Street. Along the way, the vehicle jumped the curb several
times, taking out new fence posts, rose bushes, and a mail box.

Watson, 38, of Valley Mills, and his
wife, Nancy, saw the vehicle enter
the road at 219 with two front tires
flat and had come around her as
she came back on the roadway in
front of the bed and breakfast.
“We 'were watching the
(Dickey’s) vehicle in our mirrors
because of the two flat tires,”
Watson said.
Daniel Harborth, 18, of Clifton,
traveling westbound on 219 came
up behind Dickey as the vehicle
continued to travel down 219 to-
ward Highway 6, without realizing
what had already happened.
“I saw her head drop over the
side, then come back up, and for a
moment, I thought she was all
right. But then her head dropped
back over to the side and stayed
there, and I knew something was
wrong,” said Harborth. “Then she
(Dickey) drove off the road and into
a mailbox (at 1420 West 5th Street)
and I knew something was very
wrong."
Dickey’s vehicle continued down
219, across 0 Street, again leaving
the roadway and brushing against
the light pole on the West side of
Ave. 0.
"The vehicle just kept going. It fi-
nally came to a stop against a small
embankment in a front yard (at
1302 West 5th)," said Harborth.
The vehicle was already on fire
by the time Schmidt. Watson, and
Harborth reached it.
"She was just sitting there, the
engine was still racing, and the
doors were all locked," said all
three of the men.
“We tried to get her to turn off the
engine and unlock the doors," said
Harborth, "But she just didn't re-
spond.
"When we couldn't get any re-
sponse, I grabbed a MagLite from
my truck to break a window," said
Harborth. “Then we tried to get her
out, only to find that seat belt
wouldn't come loose."
The men reported that Watson
jumped in the car. now full of smoke
and engulfed in fire, and got the
seatbelt loose.
“I just couldn't see the lady burn
ing to death." Watson said after-
ward
Watson and Schmidt pulled
Dickey from the car. before the
ambulance, fire trucks, or police
reached the scene,
"Were not heroes." said
Harborth after the wreck. "We just
did what had to be done "
Dickey was transported to Good
all Witcher Hospital emergency
room by ambulance
Following the incident, Watson
also realized that he had been
burned and traveled by private ve-
hicle to the hospital for treatment
"I'm still shaking.' said Nancy
Wilson in the hospital, "but I just
thank God we were all there"
As of press time. Clifton Police
Officer Handy Hill said that al
though he had not vet gotten a re
port from the hospital, he felt that
Dickey must ha\e had some kind of
seizure
"I know that she was able to talk
after she was taken to the hospital,
but I do not know if she sustained
any other injuries." said Hill If
they hadn t have gotten her out of
the vehicle I feel she would have
died of smoke inhalation or the
fire

The Bosque County Hay Show
will provide an opportunity to com
pare different samples of" hay and
help producers evaluate what
makes high quality hay Hay is a
major portion of the roughage diet
of many ruminant animals An
evaluation for food vaLe and pro
tem content can help growers de
termine hay quality more easily so
that livestock can be fed according
to hay value
An individual entering a hay
sample will know the value of his
hay when the show is over Samples
will have a protein analysis run and
be physically evaluated as to
leafiness, steminess. color, foreign
material, and maturity
With the lack of rainfall this sum-
mer and a limited grass growth,
livestock producers preparing to
feed hay will know if their hay is
adequate to meet animal needs, or
if supplements will be needed Hay
shows can take a lot of guesswork
out of livestock feeding
A Junior Hay Judging Contest
will be held prior to the hay show
.All 4-H and FFA clubs are invited
to enter teams

hay show, contact a member of fhe
