Coulter - Richard Jorgensen, small son of the Rev. and Mrs. H.C. Jorgensen, was crossing the street with some little companions about 6 o'clock Monday evening and watched one car to keep out of its path. But he failed to look in the other direction and was kiled when struck by a grain truck.

The three and one-half year old boy was just two blocks from his home when he was killed. The truck which hit him was driven by Harold Guldberg of Coulter and was going north. From the south was coming another car, which Richard saw. In keeping out of its path, he ran into the truck, witnesses said.

The boy was struck by the box of the truck and suffered head injuries which resulted in is death at once.

Rev. Jorgensen is pastor of the Danish Lutheran church. Besides his parents, the boy is survived by two other brothers, Paul, 4 1/2 and Phillip, 2.
