NEVADA WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO

Miss Hannah Ringheim, age 62 years, a well known business woman of Nevada, died at 1 Thursday night from the effects of injuries received three hours before, when she was struck down by an automobile and knocked to the pavement.

Death was due to a basal fracture of the skull with the attendant shock of the accident according to the statement of attending physicians. Examination showed a couple of severe scalp wounds, as well as a broken ankle and fractured pelvis.

The car which struck Miss Ringheim was driven by D. G Berry, an Illinois man who has been in Nevada for some weeks visiting with a son and doing some work. No blame is attached to Mr. Berry in the accident as he apparently did everything in his power to avert the accident.
