AKRON WOMAN IS ACCIDENT VICTIM
LIFE CRUSHED OUT IN AUTO WRECK
Mrs. Eva Frasier Dies At the Charles Sherwood Home Near Kingsley
Kingsley, Ia., Sept. 1.—(Special)—Mrs. Eva Frasier, age 27, was almost instantly killed in an automobile wreck, on a road five miles northeast of Kingsley last Saturday night. Mrs. Frasier is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pendleton, of Akron, Ia., and has been employed in Kingsley.
The accident victim was in company with three young men on their way to a country dance, at the time of the accident. Oscar Temple, Lon Stewart and Ed Carr, all farmers living near Kingsley, were the men with Mrs. Frasier at the time of the wreck.
According to reports the trio of men decided to go to a dance, and invited Mrs. Frasier to accompany them. At a point directly in front of the farm of Charles Sherwood, the car skidded from the road and crashed into a bank. No reason for the accident could be ascertained, but it is believed the speed of the car was too great for the driver to manage. Mrs. Frasier was the only one seriously injured and she was taken to the Sherwood farm, where she died a half hour later, never regaining consciousness. Besides her parents, the dead woman is survived by three sisters and two brothers.
Later reports from Kingsley say: The accident happened about midnight Saturday night. The occupants in the car were believed to have been speeding, as indications are that the car turned over several times and skidded quite a ways before leaving the road. The body of Mrs. Frasier was taken to the E. H. Derby undertaking parlors at Kingsley.
It is reported that the parents of Mrs. Frasier are divorced, father living at Akron and mother at Battle Creek, Ia. They arrived at Kingsley Sunday morning. Mrs. Frasier was divorced from her husband and had two small children, one a daughter about 6 years old, who had been living with her, but was not in the car at the time of the accident. The victim’s husband is living somewhere in South Dakota.
Lon Stewart, driver of the car, received a bad cut on the head and about an hour after the accident, became unconscious. He was taken to a Sioux City hospital, where small hopes were held for his recovery. It was reported late Sunday morning in Kingsley that he had died, but nothing definite was found out. He has been working in the Kingsley vicinity for some time.

KINGSLEY MAN SLIGHTLY HURT
Automobiles From Le Mars and Hull Collide and Three Are Bruised and Cut
Two automobile accidents were reported to police, Wednesday afternoon, the victims in either case were not seriously injured, says the Sioux City Journal. All concerned were out of town persons.
Alvin Moss, a workman for a construction company at Bronson, Iowa, reported that his automobile struck a man as he was getting on a street car at the corner of Lakeport road and Morningside avenue.
The man was thrown to the pavement and slightly dazed by the blow. He was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital in the W. Harry Christy ambulance. At the hospital, the man gave his name as Henry Sherman, of Kingsley, Iowa. Hospital attendants stated that they were not sure whether that is the man’s correct name.
The second accident occurred shortly before 6 o’clock, when three cars crashed together at the corner of Thirty-first and Floyd streets.
According to Emmett Roberts, of LeMars, Iowa, who reported the accident to police, the automobile which he as driving, crashed into another car, which in turn was thrown into the path of an approaching automobile driven by Ike Dethmer, of Hull, Iowa.
The second automobile was driven by A. L. Stico, of Indianapolis, Indiana. Both Roberts and Stico escaped uninjured, but Dethmer, his wife and 3-year-old daughter were slightly cut and bruised. The injured ones were taken to St. Joseph’s hospital, where their wounds were dressed, after which they were able to continue to their home. It was necessary, however, that they go via the railroad since their automobile had been badly damaged in the crash.
Stico also made a report of the accident to police. Roberts was held, pending an investigation of the affair.

are very apt to get a dose of the same kind.
