but few moments before scattered
flowers over the graves of departed
ones. Mrs. Frank Roosa of this city
was killed by a street car.
Mrs. Roosa and her son, Harry
Roosa. seventeen, who had taken her
to the memorial services of the G. A.

car. when the animal became fright
ened at a passing automobile and
backed the buggy directly in front Of
tho street car. The son was thrown
into the street and Mrs. Roosa under
the wheels, where she was ground to
pieces. It was the gruesome duty of
the crew to back the ca before the
bCdy could be extricated from the
tracks. Sympathetic hands tore a
banner advertising Romeo and Ju-
liet." the senior class play OF the U.
Of c.. from the side of the car, and
laid 1t over the body.
She had fallen under the wheels in
such manner that the entire front of
her face was ground off.
Harry Roosa also suffered an in
jured arm. Faint and weak, he was
taken to his home east of town by a
physician who reached the scene soon
after the accident.
No blame is attached to conductor
Joseph Moore and Motorman Frank
Bieck. as they did all in their power
to avoid the accident.
The occupants of the automobile at
which the horse shied did not stop
their machine. but put on more speed,
and SO far no one has been found who
cav the number or knew the driver.
Mrs. Roosa, who was forty-seven,
was a member of the First Methodist
church at Boulder. She was highly
respected, as are all tho family. Be-
sides her husband and son, a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ralph Mann, of this city, was
left to mourn. Mrs. Roosa came from
Council Bluffs, Ie., six years ago.
