LITTLE GIRL IS
KILLED BY AUTO
GERTRUDE cocHRANE MEETS
DEATH NEAR LACEY.
THE TRAGEDY WAS ACCIDENTAL
Was Running to Meet Her Uncle
Who Was Driving the Car
When He Failed to See
Her in Time.

L
Gertrude Cochrane aged twelve
years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. +.
Cochrane, was accidentally killed at
Lacey Tuesday afternoon, by her
uncle, viii T.. Cochrane. The child
was hit by his automobile as she ran
into the roadway to meet him
Running down a lane that turns
from the highway the child suddenly
emerged in the roadway from behind
a willow tree and clump of weeds
that completely hid her from view.
The auto was upon her before the
driver could see her. The lamp struck
the head and face of the child ana
rendered her unconscious. Death
ensued in about an hour.
The accident occurred about three
O'clock Tuesday afternoon near the
Cochrane home at the south side or
Lacey. J. F. and w. t. Cochrane
have a little repair establishment at
the place of the former, near the M.
& st. l.. Ry. station. j. F. was at
work in the shop while the brother
VIII had been doing piece of work
at distance. Gertrude was with her
father playing about the shop and
watching his work.
| She spied her Uncle VIII coming
along the road some distance away.
"Oh here comes Uncle WILL" she
cried, and ran down the lane. that
leads from the main roadway to the
shop, going to meet him and possibly
thinking to ride to the shop by his
side.
Instead of turning in at the lane to
go to the shop Mr.. Cochrane contin-
ued straight along the roadway and
this possibly accounts for the acci
dent. The child believing that her
uncle would turn in at the lane as
he frequently did, instead of going
around to the front of the house by
the road, gave him right-of-way in the
lane. She ran out into the road that
he might see her as he turned in at
the lane, The car however kept to
1.-THE road straight ahead and dashed
into the child as she left the end or
the lane and entered the roadway.
The road Is narrow at this place
and the driver of the car had no pos.
sble chance of avoiding the accident.
He was all but upon the child be-
fore he saw the flash of her clothes
before hi scar. The little form fell as
the car hit the body and passed over
her before it could be stopped. The
wheels probably passed at either side
however as the body does not show
bruises or marks. The face was badly,
cut however.
Mr.. Cochrane is almost beside him
self with grief over the lamentable
happening. The child, was a favorite
with him and she was about him al
most constantly, both at the shop ami
when he went here and there about
the country, helping him as she could
or riding about in his car. The grief
OF the parents and the uncle is shared
by the people of the community
wherein the girl was known. She was
a bright and winning child lovable
and liked by associates and acquaint-
ances. Her shocking death casts a
gloom over the entire community.
