CRASH KILLS BRIDE ON HONEYMOON TRIP

Mrs. Jim Ross, 25, of Earlham was killed last Friday in a highway accident in South Dakota, as she and her husband were returning from their honeymoon.

Mr. and Mrs. Ross were married October 15. She was the former Margaret Fitzgerald of Jefferson. After the wedding the couple left on an extended trip through the northwestern states.

They were returning home last Friday when they were involved in an accident near Wessington Springs, S. Dak. A car carrying five teen-agers ran a stop sign on the highway and collided with the Ross car.

Mrs. Ross was driving at the time. She was killed in the crash. One of the teen-agers was killed also and two others critically injured.

Jim Ross escaped with relatively minor injuries.
