Boy 13 Killed In Massachusetts Ave Car Collision
A 13 year old boy named Frank Lowe was killed when College avenue motor car No 803 struck the wagon he rode in at about 4 45 Wednesday afternoon near Massachusetts avenue and New Jersey street. The wagon overturned and the boy was crushed and died instantly. Witnesses dispute blame with some saying the car was speeding and others that the accident was unavoidable. The wagon belonged to J T Power grocer on N Pennsylvania street and was driven by James Hale with Jacob Deming aboard. The car was operated by motorman John Corliss and conductor Jim Elliott. The street railway company defends its staff saying the horse caused the wagon to lurch into the car path. The body was taken to the morgue and then home to 308 East North street.
