DEATH IS CAUSED BY AUTO
LITTLE GIRL AT ONTARIO is
RUN OVER
No Blame Attached to Driver-0per-
alton in Hospital Could Not Save
the Child

1 the 4utku
A writer in the Norwalk Star re-
ports an automobile accident at On
tario early Tuesday evening proved
fatal to little Hazel Michels, daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. John Michels. While
at play on the street the little one
was hit by a car driven by Pearl Ma
son of Oil City and both front and
rear wheels passed over her body.
Drs. Allen and Abbott were sum-
moned and in company with the moth
er and Arthur Luetke the child was
taken to a La Crosse hospital in Mr..
Luetke's auto. She was conscious
and rational, but complained of pains
in her stomach. An examination at
the hospital revealed that the liver
had been crushed and that the chance
of recovery was very remote. An OPP
Grafton was performed early Wednes-
day morning, but without avail and
the following afternoon the spirit of
the little one returned to Him who
gave it in all its innocence and purity.
No particular blame is attached to
| the driver of the death car, it being
conceded that he was driving slowly
and using reasonable caution. The
victim no doubt got confused and at
tempted to turn back in front of the
car after starting across the street.
Most such accidents are caused in such
manner and sometimes are unavoid-
| able.
Mr. Michels conducts the mail and
passenger service between Norwalk
and Ontario and both he and Mrs.
Michels formerly resided here. Hazel
was their only child, about six years
of age, bright, playful little thing
and greatly endeared to all who knew
her. The sorrowing parents have the
| sympathy of many friends in their
great affection.
