RUN DOWN BY ELECTRIC
CAR And KILLED.
Fred Klausmeyer OF St. Louis, Aged
70, Meets With Death Between
DeLassus and Pennington.

Yesterday Wednesday, afternoon
about one o'clock, Fred Klausmeyer.
a laborer on the new Inilrmory build
ing at State Hospital No. 4, was
walking on the track of the electric
railway near Mr.. Clardy's, when he
was run down by the electric car
from DeLassus. He was picked up
and placed on the car, still breath
ing, but died before the car reached
Pennington.
From the evidence at the inquest,
which was held by Coroner English
the same afternoon, the motorman
discovered him about one hundred
yards ahead as the car rounded the
curve at that point, and he com
menced blowing the whistle and
kept 1t up continuously. Seeing that
no attention was paid to the whistle,
the motorman turned on the brakes,
which for some reason failed to
work, when, the car now being with
in about thirty steps Of the man, he
reversed the current, but the car
slipped along the wet track, the pi-
lot striking the unfortunate old man
between the legs. He was thrown
forward on the track, and the pilot
passed over him, cutting an ugly
cash on his head and crushing in
his left side before the car stopped.
The evidence brought out the fact
that deceased was very deaf, and it
is supposed that he did not hear nor
feel the jnr of the car on the track.
Mr.. Klausmcyer lived in st. Louis,
was - years old, widower and
leaves three sous and one daughter.
The verdict OF the Coroner's jury
was that Fred Klausmeyer "came to
his death by being struck by an
electric car, and we further believe
his death or being struck by said
car was unavoidable, as the evil
dence OF the passengers on said car
was to the effect that the motorman
used every effort in his power to
avoid the accident"
The jury was composed of George
Herzog, Guy Tull0ck, $. o. Con-
way, George Nj. Raines, Will j.
Bruett and G. p. Rozier.

COWS AT AUCTION
 BRING BIG PRICES
One Brought. S190, While Other Stock Sold at Extraordinarily Large
 Figures.

Over SS000 worth of live stock was sold at Glendale yesterday by C. O. McMurtry in three hours and fifteen minutes. The live stodck included all kinds of farm animals. all of which brought unusually high prices. Milk cows sold all the way from S65 to S19O, which is believed to be a record breaking auction price for this ter ritory.
 The stock sold was owned by C. H. Barlley. MT. Barkley is not pre- pairing to leave the country but in order to raise money he sold some of his stock, a few farm implements, some tools and a little furniture No sale of its magnitude was ever con ducted more rapidly. Thirty-twO milk cows were sold in less than 9 min utes.
 O. A. Wilson of the Imperial Valley bought thirteen cows. He had in spected the herd and been present at one milking. Whenever a COW he had selected was put up for sale he bought her, no matter what the price. It was Wilson who paid the top price for one COW, Si90. He will to- day ship the cows to the Imperial valley and expects to there sell them at a profit The youngest COW of the herd, a little over two years old. brought $65. All the cows were of the shorthOrn breed.
 High bids were also made on the swine. Six sows sold for $31.25 a piece while the pigs averaged $10.25. Two -year-old mules sold for $500 pair The horses averaged 1925 a piece.
 over 800 people were present at the auction and bidding was brisk. The Barkley stock is all high grade and farmers were present from all parts of the valley to bid on that which was offered. A fine lunch was served at noon.

 When it came down Carr and pr. Ketcherside were lying under the rear axle. Evans was lying between tac wheels on one side. his head under the auto and his feet sticking out while Driscoll was several feet off to one side. He had been thrown clear and was the only one seriously injured.
 Though Carr's injuries were less serious than those of any of his con panions. he was lying in such a way that had the machine moved a foot farther his head would have been severed from his body. Had he not shut off the power he would have been decapitated. And had the top been on the auto it could not have turned completely over as it did.
