CLARK HALL KILLED n
IN AUTO Accl9EkT.

Clark Hall of Fairmont district,
son of Arnold 8. Hall, now of Seattle
WASH, who until few years ago liv-
ed near the Fruitdale Church, on w.
44th Avenue. was struck by an auto
mobile and fatally injured, Saturday
night about 8 o'clock.
The accident occurred little way
east Of the church on w. 44th, near
ly oposite the home Of A. D. johnson,
The car by which young Hall was
struck was being driven by Arthur
Ransom, 16 year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Ransom, northwest Of
Arvada. Young Ransom with his
sisters, Martha, Sidney and Ann, and
Frank Luand q neighbor boy, were
driving eastcoming home from q Wis
it to the home Of the Ransom child
ren's grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Bell
near Golden, and, they claim they
were not driving over rs miles per
hour.
Something had gotten wrong with
the car in which Mr.. Hall and G. w.
Steward were riding west, and they
had stopped to make repairs.
Young Steward was repairing the
tire or wheel Of the car on the inside
Of the road and Hall was standing
back Of him. The lights Of their car
Ransom says, were burning 80 bright
ly that he could not sec that t:l.re
was anyone in the road nor could he
tell just how far the car was from
the center of the road, 10 he attem1
ed to miss the car and still keep afe-
ly on the road.
The fender of the car struck Hall
on the hip and knocked him about 20
feet, according to report by some Of
these who examined the marks in the
road afterward.
Hall was unconscious where he
fell and it was found that, his head
was badly cut. ~
Mr.. Steward ran to Mr.. Johnson's
home and called DR.. Garvin from
Golden. who gave him Temporary
aid and rushed him to St. Lukes'
hospital where he died at 2 o'lcock
Monday afternoon.
Az soon ~ the accident occurred
Arthur fastened back and brought
bis uncle to the scene to do what he
could for the injured man..
The victim was married, leaving q
widow besides his father and other
relatives to mourn his untimsly TAX
ing away.
The accident has cast gloom over
the entire community. and county,
and, altho it seems to have been one
Of those peculiar accidents that are
unaecountabls, It was most unfor-
tunats for all concerned. Young
Ransom and his family are sad be-
yond words Of expression.
The friends Of all concerned sx-
prsss their sympathy to those whose
lives have been saddened by the trag-
ic affair.
