HARTINGTON-Icy roads and heavy snow figured in four different traffic accidents, County Sheriff John Riibe reported. No one was seriously injured in the accidents. A tractor was almost completely demolished in a near head-on collision with an auto about five miles west of here Dec. 30, the sheriff reported. Wendell Milander, Coleridge, was traveling east and as he came over a hill his auto collided with a tractor driven by Harlan Shope, Hartington. Because of the heavy drifts along the road only one-way traffic was possible, the sheriff said. The auto hit the right side of the tractor and right wheel.
