Donald Ke0gh 9. youngest son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Nj. KeOgh, of
Outlook, came to his death by an
accident when struck by a car
driven by Charles Grant, on the
evening of May q.
The little boy was playing teg with
another lad and was lodging back and
forth between the many cars parked
on the street that evening, and Mr..
Grant had backed out from the curb
about 125 feet from where the acct
dent happened and was driving very
slow; in fact, had not changed from
intermediate to high gear, and was
moving along at about Is miles when
Donald ran out in front of the car
and within a very few feet of it. He
did not appear to mind the nearness
OF the Ger. and bystanders who saw the
grim accident say that Mr.. Grant was
not driving to exceed Is miles.
Threw on Brakes
Grant threw on the brakes when
the boy lodged in front Of him in an
effort to stop the car but the boy was
too near and altho the car stopped in
its own length, the little boys life
had been snuffed out when his head
was struck by the oncoming car. Mr..
Grant leaped out of his car and pick
ed I'm the little boy and carried him
into the pool hall which was the near
est building, and ordered someone to
phone DR.. Fawcett to come with all
speed but it was discovered that the
little boy was dead. his skull had been
crushed from the impact. Deputy COR
oner Fulkerson was sent to Outlook
when this information reached here.
Commencement Exercises On
At Stiver's Hall in Outlook the
commencement exercises of the Out
look high school were being held, AL
len eKogh, brother of Donald, was
graduating, with high honors, and his
parents and two sisters were witness
ing Aliens graduation, but the little
boy had gone out to uplay as the
hall was packed to overlooking.
A telephone call from the Grant
farm conveyed the word to Mr.. Grant
that a man was there from Minot on
important personal business with him
and he left the hall. informing Mrs.
Grant that he would run out to the
farm and be back as soon as possible.
The fatal accident brought gloom
to the large audience at the hall
where the graduating exercises were
being conducted and the Keogh fam
ily could hardly realize the grief that
had come into the home the same mite
their older son was given such signal
honors for his achievements in school
work.
Ask for Inquest
Mr.. Grant asked that an inquest
be held, altho Deputy Coroner Full
kerson did not believe same necessary
as it was clearly evident that it had
been purely of an accidental nature,
but the request was granted and on
Thursday morning same was held
with the jury deciding that the boys
death was purely accidental. The jury
consisted of Melvin Kantner, Frank
Rooster, X. J. Karlson, John Ladd,
Roy Homme and Louis RIPLEY.
Donald is survived by his parents
two brothers, Allen and Noel and two
sisters Betty Lou and Rose Mary.
The funeral occurred at the Cath
olic church at Outlook on Saturday
with Father O'Rourke officiating, and
the body wa laid to rest in the Out
look cemetery. There was a very large
number of friends present at the fu-
neral, and the Keogh family has the
sympathy of che entire community.
