TYLER KILLED IN ACCIDENT

The collision of an auto and a motorcycle delivery car, at Nevada Monday morning caused the death of Lester Tyler, 24, when he was thrown from his cycle to the pavement. He died on the operating table at the Iowa Sanitarium, from fracture of the skull and loss of blood.

Howard and Milton Safly, bound for school, crashed with the Tyler motorcycle, as they were going east and Tyler coming north. Tyler was thrown clear over his cycle onto the pavement, no doubt landing full force on his head with fatal results.

The sheriff was called and in checking up to see where the responsibility for the accident lies. Tyler was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tyler and was young man of splendid reputation and a hard worker.
