PAGE 2 fHE ftHINELANDER (WIS.) DAILY NEWS APRIL 6, 1934 VAMPIRE AUTO SOUGHT AFTER STRIKING MAN LeRoy Russ, Baseball Ace, Seriously Injured when Hit by Car Last Night, Tall Trees Add Beauty to Great. Chrysler Estate LeHoy Ruas, hotter known lo HhliiHandpr baseball nml diamond- ball followers as "fimokey" Huss, was seriously injured last night on County Trunk just south of Rhlnnlnnder. He supposedly was the victim of a hit-and-run driver, and If so, was the. fourth pel-son to Ix? struck and left injured by vampire motorists liere Iliis winter. The affair was reported to city police immediately, although the accident scene is just outside the city limits, but it was not reported to county officials until today.

So far, no trace of the motorist has been found. Jluss, who lives on the side road leading- west from the "hog's back" hill, was walking into Rhinelander last night at about 7 or p. in. Either a passenger car or a light truck, coming down the hill from the south, bound for Rhinelander, struck; him from behind. Leg Broken Near Ankle.

It Is believed one wheel ran over Russ' leg. He was hurled into the water and snow in the ditch with a compound fracture of one leg at the ankle, cuts, bruises, and possible in-1 ternal injuries. I The driver speeded up across thej Pelican river bridge, and did not stop to give assistance to his victim. It is possible he did not know he had struck anyone, although there must have been considerable impact. Russ' shouts for help were heard by Tom Sharman and Jess Hunter.

They went to his assistance and called city police, Officer Merrill Hibbard answering the call. He called Dr. I. E. Schiek and Carlson's am-1 bulance, after wrapping the injured' young man in blankets from his Russ was removed to St.

Mary's hospital in the ambulance. His condition, was favorable today. Opinions differed as to whether a car or a truck struck Russ. Some persons who heard the vehicle pass thought it was a passenger car, while Russ, who did not see it until after it had struck him, believes it was a truck, probably traveling empty. He heard the vehicle approaching from behind him, and was at.

the side of the road when he was struck. i Was Difficult to See. There waa considerable fog and mist last evening, and officials believe there is a possibility the driver did not see Russ and did not know of the accident. No light truck was found on the streets after the accident, and none returned over the bridge during the time Officer Hibbard watched there. If the driver did not know he had been in an officials believe he will report to them after he learns 01 the ciash.

One person has been fatally injured, two seriously hurt and one slightly injured by hit-and-run drivers in and near Rhinelander during the winter. So far, officers have not been able to make arrests in any of these cases. Russ is 25 years of age. He is well known locally because of his baseball ability. He pitched diamondball for the Refrigerator Alrtites In their championship years in the Industrial league, and last summer pitched for the Ford V-S's.

He also has pitched baseball each summer, and last year hurled for the Rhinelander Independents.

SPRING COMES TO NORTHLAND Some Roads May Not Be Open Tonight; Detour through Fields Used on Route 51. Hastens Recovery With a warm sun beaming down, the frost was boiling out of Oneida county's roads today and by evening, it was expected that many roads in the county will be closed to travel. Even the oiled highways, which so far have stood up well, were beginning to break through in spots today. State, U.

S. Roads Open. State and federal highways were open across Oneida county, but many of them were in poor condition. Some of the county highways were almost closed to travel today, and many town roads could not be negotiated by car. In a number of cases, water is so high over the roads that only a part of the fence posts is visible.

Such conditions can be found on Highway 51, on the Pine Lake road formerly called County Trunk and on the county trunk connecting Tomahawk with Highway 63. Since Monday, the county has maintained truck crews night and day on Highway 51 to haul motorists through the water holes. There is a possibility that the water will be down enough that it will not be necessary to keep truck crews on the job tonight. The county will not keep trucks at these places merely to traffic goin? through the mud, after the water drops. According to Harry Williams, county highway commissioner, the frost now Is coming out of the ground at the rate of four to five Inches per day, and probably was pouring out faster todav.

As the frost comes out, the surface water will be able to soak into the ground. Because of the long dry summer in 1933, it is believed the ground will absorb most of the surface water as soon as the frost comes out. Will Improve Quickly? Although it will mean terrible conditions for a few days, county highway officials hope the weather man gives' them several days like today. The faster the frost boils out, the sooner the break-up will end. Another heavy rain or a snowfall like that of a week ago would tie highways up for days and delay the break-up more.

The condition of Oneida county's roads follows: Highway in woods west of Three Lakes, but passable. Will not reach worst condition for few days, as this road always cures late. Highway but rough and contains water holes. May be blocked in places by night. Highway open, but loose.

Highway clay and gravel; dangerous to travel and tough going. Traffic advised to use Highways 8-51 if bound for Tomahawk. Highway to Monlco; Spongy in red clay east of Monico. Good from Rhinelander to Midway, but rough and full of water in Cassian. Bad to Tripoli.

Highway from Pelican Lake to Monlco, and from Eagle River to Three Lakes; muddy in spots between Monico and Three The water fS down, but potholes are breaking through the oil. Highway report, Highway good, except 'for water in swampy locations. Breaking through near 'Raymond flats. Highway and wet in Cassian but south of Midway toward Little Rice flowage. North of Midway, necessary to cut fences and detour through fields to escape mud and water.

Questionable how long frost-boiling fields will stand up tills traffic. Highway good north; water is going down, but oil is breaking through in spots. From Rhinelander south, is open to Lincoln county line, but soft and slushy. Bad in vicinity of Jeffris. Highway good in Oneida county.
