(Special to The Courier.)
Keosauqua, Nov. 18-Frank Teal, farmer living near Keosauqua, was instantly killed about 8'oclock Saturday night when struck by an automobile while walking along highway No. 1 a mile south of this city.

The car was driven by Mr. Black, an employe at the Keosauqua state park, but the driver was not held.

Teal had driven to Keosauqua from his home, one and one half mile southeast of here, and had left the car there for the use of one of his sons who had accompanied him.
