HIT BY SPEEDERS
HERMAN HOOVER NEARLY KILL
ED BY CARELESS DRIVERS.

Herman B. Hoover, brother of
Charles A. Hoover of the Hoover
Auto Company, was hit by. an auto
mobile Saturday night about fifteen
minutes after midnight as he was en-
route home from town. An auto
running at a high rate of speed,
crashed into the rear of his vehicle.
found shortly afterwards, lying un-
conscious by the roadside with
broken leg and shoulder and neck
sprained or otherwise injured. The
party guilty of the act made a quick
getaway and left the injured man, to
all appearances dead, lying as he fell.
He was knocked clear of his vehicle
to one side of the road and the i'm
pact of the machine must have been
severe. Mr.. Hoover was uncon-
by parties who came along the road
little behind him. Several other
cars passed without seeing the un-
conscious form lying by the roadside.
Mr.. Hoover says he was driving
home in his buggy and heard the ex-
haust of couple of cars behind him.
He pulled over to one side to allow
Them to pass. The cars were EVIL
IDENTIFY travelling rapidly as Indicated
by the nature of the exhaust from the
engines. The next thing came the
crash and Mr.. Hoover has no further
recollection of what occurred until
after he was taken to his home. Here
he was conscious by intervals but it
was some time before he could give
a coherent statement.
The auto tore away one of the
rear wheels of the buggy. The mare
and rig were found three-fourths of
mile from the place where the rig
was hit The crash occurred in the
public highway near the Vannest
place just north of town.
Mr.. Hoover is resting as well as
can be expected today but complains
of neck and shoulder soreness.
