FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR VALENTINE FRIDAY
■ .. "
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.
Funeral services wt*re held Sunday
and burial was made in Creekview
cemetery, about thirty-five miles
northwest of Cody

A petition bearing 132 signatures
was filed with the city council Tues
day evening asking that the city
council call a special election for the
purpose of voting bonds to build an
uptown fire house in the central part

The city council desirous of erecting
the kind and size building that the
people desired, asked the firemen to
ascertain from the tax-payers of the
;city what kind of a building they
I were in favor of, whether or not they
should erect a building suitably large
to care for the activities of the city
.for many years to come or a small
| structure suitable for housing the fire
equipment only.
The firemen will attempt to ascer
tain the wants of the public in this
matter and if you will give your
: opinion to the firemen when they call
1 on you, it will be appreciated.
A large auditorium will cost in the
neighborhood of $20,000, and a hall

will cost around $5,000 to $7,000.
, Figures on the different propositions
will be ascertained when it is found
i what the public wants.
