The body was sent by the Street and Draper funeral home to Frederick, home of the victim's mother, Mrs. M. A. Fulfer.

Rogers, returning home to Edmond early Sunday morning, ran into the rear of a truck driven by M. P. Blair, employe at Guthrie creamery. His right leg was broken and he suffered cuts on his face. The crash occured four miles north of the capitol.
