Lucille Gillian Killed Wednesday
Evening In 2-Car Highway Accident

Mrs. Lucille Boyd Gillian, age
IS, of Wellpinit, Washington, was
killed outright when her 1861
Pontiac Bonneville sedan struck
the back of another vehicle, ca
reened out of control and over
turned in the barrow pit three
miles east of East Glacier Park
about z pm. last night, Wednes-
day.
Her husband, Clarence Blond
lie" Gillian, formerly of Brown
ing and a member of a prominent
Blackfeet family, was seriously
injured and is hospitalized in the
Blackfeet Indian hospital.
The driver of the Gillian We
hicle was a 15-year-old Martin
City, Montana youth, and did not
appear to be seriously injured
He had no drivers license
The second vehicle involved, a
1859 Ford Ranchero, was being
driven in the same direction, to-
wards Browning, by Orvin Peter
son of Sidney, Montana, and it
was not extensively damaged.
Mrs. Gillian made national
news a few years ago when she
came upon sudden wealth thru
the discovery of valuable miner
ais in her interest on Indian land
in Washington.
1t is believed the Gilhams were
on their way to Browning to visit
relatives and were within 10
miles of their destination when
the accident occurred, and had
possibly hired the Martin City
youth to drive for them.
They had made periodic visits
before.
Back injury, including displace-
ment of three ribs, appeared to
be the main injuries sustained
by Gillian when he was admit
ted to the hospital last night.
The scene of the accident was
near a lake on the right side of
the road, travelling east, before
the curve with a leadoff to the
right that leads to the Great
Northern Drilling Co. No. l we'll,
now undergoing tests.
