" A fatal automobile accident occur-1 red on Highway No. 20 about three j miles northwest of Valentine at four i o’clock last Friday morning, when a i Chevrolet coupe driven by Miss Vera Shangrauw, of Cody, and accompanied by Joe McAllister, of Atkinson, and John Donohoe, of O’Neill, ran from the grade and overturned while mak ing a turn at an excessive speed. Miss Shangrauw was instantly killed; the top of her head was torn away in the accident. Mr. Donohoe received a cut over the left eye and beyond a few bruises neither of the young men were injured. John Donohoe came down from Cody Monday evening and he tells the story as follows: “Joe McAllister and Dr. McKee, of Atkinson, own a hotel at Cody. Mr. Donohoe and Joe McAllister had gone to Valentine to get Miss Shangrauw, who was staying in Valentine, to work in the hotel. Miss Shangrauw was driving the car, which belonged to McAllister; she was considered a good driver, but was making the turns pretty fast; when she came to the fatal corner she undoubtedly failed to see it soon enough and in an effort to make the turn she left the highway but the car turned over once and a half when it struck an icy place be fore it had gone far. It seems that the girl was thrown from the car and then the car rolled onto her; the young men remained in the car. An inquest was held at the scene of the accident as soon as the sheriff, doctor and undertaker could arrive. The boys were exonerated from any blame. The remains of Miss Shangrauw were taken to the home of her mother at Cody.
