SAD FATALITY
HARVEY w. MORANG INSTANTLY
KILLED BY AUTO.
Struck Down at Crossing on Bridge
Hill Friday Evening-NO Eye
Witnesses but Many
People Near.


Witnesses but Many
People Near.
Harvey w. Morang, a well-known
and popular business man OF ELS
worth, was instantly killed Friday
evening, when struck by an. auto
mobile driven by Jonathan Langley,
seventeen-year-old son of Perry j.
Langley. There were no eye wit
nesses of the accident, though several
people were near enough to hear the
crash as the car struck Mr. Morang,
and many were at the scene in few
minutes. The body was not identi-
fed until after its removal to the
Hurley hospital
The accident occurred at the cross
ing on Bridge hill, near the home of
J. A. Haynes and just below the fork
of the Bluehill road and the Bucks
port road, or Court street. Mr.. Nor
ang was on his way to his home on
Court street for supper 1t was just
before 6 o'clock The evening was
dark and rainy, making driving dan
gerous because of low visibility.
The car came up Bridge hill at
good speed, and it appeared to people
whom it passed on the hill that the
driver was attempting to make the
hill on high" Speed was gradually
lessening as the car neared the fork
of the roads, but the driver had not
found it necessary to shift gears. Mr..
Langley says he was looking around
the left of the windshield to see the
road better, but he did not see Mr..
Morang Then he felt a jar, saw a
hat fly, and knew he had struck a
man He stopped his car about sixty
feet farther on. and ran back, calling
for assistance.
Others soon gathered. The bloody
condition of Mr. Morang's face made
naturalization impossible until after
he had been removed to the Hurley
hospital, where he was taken by Mr..
Langley in his car. Examination
there showed that death must have
been instantaneous. The ribs of the
right side were crushed in. the limbs
broken and face badly crushed and
bruised.
News of the accident, that sped
quickly about the city, was stun
ming shock to the entire community.
Later examination of the scene of
the accident indicated that Mr. Nor
ang had nearly reached the sidewalk
on the north side of the street when
he was struck. He was thrown or
dragged twenty-five or thirty feet,
and Mr.. Langley says two wheels of
the car passed over him. Why Mr..
Morang did not himself avoid the car
will never be known. Possibly he
thought the car was going up the
Bluehill road, or that he had passed
beyond the travelled part of Court
street. The street makes turn
right at this point, and the driver of
the car may have Rugged the corner
too closely.
County Attorney w. B. Blaisdell
was in Ellsworth Saturday making
some inquiry into the cause of the
accident, but as yet no criminal
proceedings have been instituted.

Clothes must have MORE than fineness and style to make women more beauti- ful. Clothes must have Taste and Personality!
 Supposing a dress is made from material costing $15 a yard. Supposing it IS rich ly trimmed, and IS a new creation and superbly made What of it?
 If the average woman or a miss tries on that dress and it does NOT become her, should she buy it?
 Today America is flooded with all kinds of stylists. Some take a European Crea- tion and copy it to a "T"; but it is like the egg one scientist made - it looked like an egg, but there was no taste to it.
 Other stylists improve on European Creations, and adapt them to meet the re- quirements of the smartly dressed American woman.
