AUTO PLUNGES OVER EMBANKMENT-
TWO MEN PINIONED AND KILLED.
J. G. BOBO MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
NEAR HILLSB0R0 SATURDAY NIGHT.
On last Sunday morning a
few miles north of Hillsboro
the body of Mr. J. C. Bobo aged
51 of this city was found cold
in death pinioned beneath his
automobile. Ho was enrouto
home alone fr'om Mineral Wells
when his car whs overturned
near an embankment sometime
during the night and it is sup-
posed that if he was killed in-
stantly that he died from the
extreme cold as no bruises were
found on theJbody. . His cloth-
ing was wet from a amall
stream of water into which the
car overturned.
He was discovered early in
the following morning by some
touiMsts )vho Notified citizens
of Hillsboro. He Was identified
by papers on his person and the
sad news conveyed to his wife
hero who had been expecting
him during the night as he tele-
phoned lie was coming home
and to keep the fire burning on
account of the extreme cold.
Mayor E. M. Wilson left for
Hillsboro Sunday afternoon and
accompanied the remains here.
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at Church
of Christ conducted by Elder
Claude Kele of Waco. The body
was interred in the Holland ceme
tery former home of deceased.
Mr. Bobo was for a number
of years employed by South-
western Bell Telephone Cd. as
linesman resigning a few weeks
ago to accept employment with
the Postal Telegraph Co. in
Nortwest Texas wnd was en-
route home for a brief visit with
his family when the tragic end
came ire leaves a wife ana
two children one son Dan Bobo
who is in the Phillipine Islands
a two-year old daughter and
a brother Chester Bobo of Holland.
Sometime between the hours
of 9 and 10 o'clock Tuesday
night a Ford car. driven h'v
Herman Kosllm of AJemnn
Hamilton county and his broth-
er Henry Koslan of Paige Bas-
trop county wont over the em-
bankment at the second bridge
north on tho Donnho just
south of Bartlett. nininnint? Mm
occupants under it in a pool of
water some two or three fept in
depth and drowning them it is
evident. Nothing was known
about the horrible tragedy until
Wednesday morning about 8
o'clock although a negro work-
ing for J. B. Uolcombe passed
the bridge about 10 o'clock the
night of the accident and no-
ticed the tail light of a car in
the pool of water; but for some
reason did not report it until
the next morning when he in-
formed Mr. Uolcombe who at
once went to the place and saw
the car overturned and the foot
of a man protruding from the
water. He notified others and
an investigation was made re-
vealing the result of a horrible
accident two men buried in
water and mud pinioned under
a badly wrecked car. A num-
ber of citizens soon gathered
and removed the bodies who
were unknown but papers they
had upon them soon revealed
as to who they were and where
they 'were from. Mayor Wil-
son wired parties at Paige and
soon relatives were notified.
The bodies were brought to
town and taken to the Slokes-
Blair undertaking p a rl o r s
where the inquest was held af-
ter which they were prepared
for burial pending the arrival
of relatives who came in the af-
ternoon a brother-in-law Os-
wald Birnbaum of Paige a
younger brother the wife and
babe of Herman Koslan and a
Mr. Fisher of Aleman who ex-
plained a portion of the sad
story. During the holidays
Herman Koslan and wife visit-
ed relatives at Paige and on ac-
count of the rains left their
car there returning to their
home in Hamilton county on the
train. A few days ago Mr.
Koslan went to Paige after his
car and Tuesday afternoon ac-
companied by his brother ho
loft for his home with the sad
ending above mentioned. There
aro various opinions advanced
us to the cause of tho accident
but the most plausible one is
to manv. flimi Mm mnn
Smother car at the approcah of
uie ontige and were blinded by
glaring headlights. Not being
familiar with the road and not
knowing there was a second
bridge they no doubt attempted
to turn out but were blinded
hence went over the embank-
ment. However" it will. never be
known what caused the sad
affair.
Herman Koslan was about 30
years of age and leaves a wifo
and small child. He was engag-
ed in the mercantile business at
Aleman. Henry Koslan was a
farmer near Paige aged about
32 years and leaves a wife and
five chidlren. Accompanied by
relatives the remains of the'
victims of a most horrible acci-
dent were taken to Paige Wed-
nesday for burial.
