| Leo Holzsaster, % years old of
Council Bluffs, was shot to death ear
| ly Sunday evening near Loveland on
the Council Bluffs and Missouri Val

arising out of Holzsaster's alleged
refusal to make room with his auto
mobile for second machine to pass
him.
In the car with Holzsaster were
| Emma Hansen, aged "a, with whom
he had been keeping company for a
year; her sister, Murl Hansen, and

from which the shot that killed
Holzsaster Is said to have been fired
were Ernest Berwick, who was

Peterson, 20; and Mary Howard, %,
all of Council Bluffs.
At the coroner's inquest held in

one in the second car called for the
first machine to give room for him
to pass, Holzsaster made no answer,
whereupon a shot was fired which
caused puncture of one of the first
cars tires. Both machines stopped
and Holzsaster jumped on the run
ming board of the second car as II ap-
preached A second later, according
to witnesses two shots rang out and
the second machine, apparently with
out a driver, toppled over ten-foot
embankment. Holzsaster's body was
found few minutes later lying near
the machine.
He was taken by Berwick and
Clark. in Borwick's machine to the
Jennie Edmundson hospital, but was
dead before they reached the hospi-
tai
Weeping bitterly, Miss Emma
Hansen told the story of the death
ride" at the inquest Monday. Sew
eral times in the course of her testi-
mony she was forced to discontinue
speaking until she could recover her
"oh, We just Started out for a
pleasure ride" wept Miss Hansen.
I'VE never thought 1t would end in
death /"
She said that she and her sister,
together with Holzsaster, who was
driving the car left the Hansen home
at eight o'clock, drove to Broadway
and Frank street. and picked up
Donald Clark, according to arrange
ments previously made. They had
just passed Loveland, she said, when
the second machine approached them
from the rear.
~"Somebody called to Leo, to give
him road to pass" said Miss Hansen.
Leo did not answer. The same
person called again. and when he re-
ceived no answer, shot was fired.
One OF our rear tires went fat almost
Immediately and we stopped. AS we
got out of the car we saw that bull
let had caused the puncture. The
second car approached and Leo hop
ped on the running board, asking
who had fired.
'a'Who the hell wants to knows?
Berwick asked. The second car
then started zig-zaging like nobody
was driving it, and as two shots were
fired, the machine with everybody in
il and Leo on the running board,
went over the embankment at the
side OF the road"

Engineer Charles Knowles had "a
new and unpleasant experience north
of Oelwein on the DEBORAH division

from his window to look back, a

urday night by two men and wom-
an, knocked unconscious, taken away
in a machine and found half hour
later in gully near the depot. She
was not the victim of statutory as

at home from blow on the, head
with blunt instrument.
After accompanying Vivian RACER,

to town, and had gone but a half
block when big machine drove up
to the curb opposite her. A man
and a woman lighted. They asked

ed, and driven through town to a
spot near the Burlington depot
