Pioneer Kiled{sic} by a Car.
In the presence of his aged wife, Charles W. Chapman, a Des Moines pioneer, was instantly killed by a Des Moines street car. Chapman suddenly stopped while nearing the tracks, and the car, which was shoveling the snow to the sides, struck him at the base of the brain, causing immediate death. He was deaf and did not hear the car approaching.
