RACING AUTO KILLS.
ELMER PACKARD MET DEATH
WHEN CAR SKIDDED
Roadster Overturns Near Talmage
Pinning Enterprise Heir Be
meath Steering Wheel and
Causing Instant Death

Elmer Packard was pinned be-
meath his automobile and instantly
killed Wednesday afternoon at 5
O'Clock when his car, an Appersop
roadster, 8 cylinder, skidded on the
crown of slippery road, went into
the ditch and turned over, coming
down on a barb wire fence, IL
miles north of the Talmage school
house, near the Ben Stewart farm.
Edward Agnew, brother-in-law of
Clarence Packard, who was with
him, was thrown clear of the Gar
and escaped with slight bruises.
Packard was driving at 40-mile
an hour rate, racing a rain storm
and go rods further south he would
have been clear of the mud. He
was 21 years of age and unmarried.
He leaves a brother, Clarence, a
sister Pearl, one half brother and
three half sisters. He was son of
the late Augustus Packard, whose
1
estate settlement attracted much at
tention with the stories Of buried
treasure on the farm east of Enter
prise.
The car was travelling at such a
terrific rate that when it skidded
and went broadside into a 20-inch
embankment, both the front and
rear wheels were taken off. The
momentum was so great, that in
the skid the automobile turned
over and when it came down on
the fence, the wheels in the air, 1t
was headed north when they had
been travelling south. Packard was
caught by the steering wheel and
the frame of the car body fell
across his chest and he was cut
with the wire barbs. The car was
practically new, a "Chummy" four
passenger Apperson roadster and
purchased last fall at a cost of
$500.
The victim of the accident was
the youngest of the Augustus Pack
ard heirs. and had inherited a small
fortune in the estate settlement
Talmage residents were imme-
diately attracted to the scene of the
calamity and after the body had
been extricated, with some diff
Guilty, from the wreck it was taken
to the Stewart home. No physicians
were called as it was evident that
all life was gone and the Enterprise
undertaken was notified immediate
ly. The body was taken there at 7
o'clock last night. Packard was well
and popularity known over the coun-
ty and his untimely death comes as
a sad shock to his friends,

only long enough to see several cases
