THREE AUTOS
______
IN AN AWFUL WRECK - ONE MAN
DEAD WITH A BROKEN NECK
Another Man May Not Survive -
A Third Breaks Leg in Awful Dive
______
One man was killed, one dangerously crippled,
and another suffered from a broken leg, in a
terrible head-on collision, two miles north
east of Eden, just over the county line in
Marshall county, Sunday morning, shortly
after midnight.
It seems from reports that Howard Mitchlitsch
in one Ford car followed closely behind by his
cousin, Henry Mitchlitsch in another Ford car
were enroute to the Sam Sampson farm going east
from Eden. At the crown of a hill the first
Ford car met a Whippet coach driven in the
opposite direction by Mike Litchtenecker, with
Aloysious Halbauer and his brother Andrew,
and Adolph Deuitsch as passengers.
In the resulting crash the second Ford car
could not be stopped in time to prevent from
getting some of the collision. Aloysious
Halbauer was thrown through the windshield
and hit the bumper of one Ford and tossed
into the roadside. He was instantly killed.
His neck was broken.
Adolph Deuitsch was thrown through the
windshield, suffered from a fractured skull,
internal injuries and some dangerous gashes.
He is in the Webster hospital, unconscious
and with small chance of recovery.
Mike Lichtenacker was thrown through the top
of the coach, had a leg broken in two places
also dangerous cuts upon his arms and body.

... the two Fords
