AUTO KILLS CHILD
ETHEL BROWN, 8 YEARS OLD,
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT A
YEAR AFTER PARENT.
TRIED TO CROSS DRIVE
Is Struck BY Car-SeveraI Witnesses

Smart, Is Blame
less

Minneapolis. = Eight-year-old Ethel
Brown, daughter of Mrs. Emily c.
Brown, 1908 Eighth street south, was
the sixth victim within the last two
months of fatal automobile accident
She was struck, knocked down and
mortally injured on the West River
drive, near Twenty-second street east,
by a machine driven by Howard E.
Smart, 1905 Portland avenue, ST. Paul,
and died shortly after reaching the
st. Mary hospital.
The little girls father, Joseph B.
Brown, met death in a similar manner
on October 5, 1911, when the auto
mobile in which he was riding was
upset near Jordan, Mimi, and he was
thrown out, suffering a fracture of the
skull.
Ethel had been out walking with her
mother, her brother Ralph, and her
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Halverson. They had visited the gov
eminent dam and were on their way
home when the accident occurred.
Automobiles and carriages were 60
ing in both directions and the child
suddenly attempted to cross the drive
by lodging behind one machine, there
by running directly into Mr.. Smart s
machine, which was on the way to-
ward Minnehaha Falls. The fender
struck her glancing blow on the side
of the head and she was hurled to the
pavement with great force, but fell
clear of the car.
Mr.. Smart stopped his car within its
own length, and his companion, Miss
Frances B. Palmer, a nurse in st.
Luke's hospital, jumped out and tried
to render what aid she could. The
little victim was lifted into the auto
noble of G. S. Cromwell A fast run
was made to the hospital, but the
child expired shortly afterward.
Mr. Smart was arrested by Park Po-
liceman Bloomgren. He was locked
up, but was later released by request
of the county attorney and by order of
Judge Montgomery of the municipal
court, who permitted the prisoner his
freedom on his personal recognizance.
chauffeur were witnesses to the acct
dent and told the Judge 1t was ap-
parently unavoidable and that the
driver was not to blame. The vic
times uncle also said he could not
hold Mr.. Smart responsible and was
grateful that he at least stopped and
did what he could to render assistance.
The mother was frantic with grief
when she was told her little girl had
died. 1t was feared she would lose
her reason and a physician had to be
called to attend her. She was first
removed to her sisters home, but later
went to her own home, where she is
under the care of relatives.
Mr.. Smart said be had driven his
own car for the last six years and
that this is the first accident he ever
had. He estimated his speed at the
time at about eight miles ar hour
He will appear in municipal court this
morning. No formal charge has been
made against him. He is the manager

IN FOUR HOURS WOMAN SITS UP

Physicians Pronounce Recovery Of
Mrs. WoIfer Remarkable
In Science.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Just four hours
after she had been given up for dead
by her physicians, Mrs. Christ Wolfer.
of Linton, N. D., sat up in her bed in
the Swedish hospital and chatted with
her attendants. Her complete recoy-
cry is now expected. The woman's
physicians, Drs. F. A. Dunsmoor and
N. H.. Scheldrup. attribute the saving
of her life to the use of a pulmotor
(which was applied about half an hour
after hopes for saving her life had
been despaired Of 1t was kept in op.
Grafton for four hours.
The case is said to be one of the
most marvellous in the annals of medi-
cal science. DR.. Scheldrup said it was
one of the most wonderful he had en-
countered in all his career as a physi-
clan and that even after the pulmotor
was applied he did not expect that the
woman would be revived.

Gently was taken to the Swedish hos
pital from her home in North Dakota
and was operated upon by Drs. Duns-
moor and Scheldrup.
Mrs. VOTERS pulse was beating be-
tween 20 and 80 and respiration had
ceased entirely" said DR.. Scheldrup.
'Her body turned blue from lack of
oxygen and We had given up hopes Of
saving her life She was practically
dead. Nevertheless, we applied oxy-
gen until the arrival of the pulmotor,
which came about 20 minutes after her
collapse. + = |
THE pulmotor was kept in operation
continuously for four hours At the
end of that time Mrs. Wolfer regained
consciousness and was able to talk
She has fully recovered from the ef-
fects of her collapse and unless I'M
forseen complications set in, she will
recover"
