Hop Bottom – Aleck T. Hortman, of Hop Bottom, was very badly injured in an automobile collision, on the Lackawanna Trail, when a car which he was driving was hit by an alleged “booze car” coming from the direction of Scranton. The car was followed by a second car which plowed into the two entangled machines, and this car also had beer of alleged illegal alcoholic content on board. The drivers were arrested and brought to Montrose, together with two other truck drivers who were passing through in the night with a truck load of alleged spirituous liquors, and all were admitted to bail to answer the charge. The accident occurred on a curve near the residence of Justice Myron Tiffany. Mr. Hortman was driving a Dodge touring car accompanied by George Janaushek, the Misses Yaglee and Doris Williams, all Hop Bottom young people. Mr. Hortman was the only one seriously injured, a piece of glass from the windshield cutting a deep gash to the neck which bled profusely, and but for the prompt service of Dr. A. J. Taylor, he would have bled to death. It is also feared he might have a concussion and fracture of the jaw. The young man was taken to the Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton and is improving. While a large percentage of the male population of the town--largely armed—were surrounding the wrecked cars a Reo Speedwagon, also heavily loaded with bottled goods, drove up. The driver appeared anxious to pass and his anxiety brought on an investigation. He and another were detained until the Sheriff arrived and all were handcuffed and taken to the county jail.
