'Clearwater Men Die
As Speeding Streamliner
, Strikes Car
^Ps-CIAC TO THE FRtLVTIEf.
CLEARWATER— Three young
men, all born and reared in a
rural community northeast of
Clearwater, were killed almost
instantly early Monday near
Valley when the Union Pacific
railroad’s City of Denver stream
liner crashed into their automo
bile.
The dead are:
* DONALD R. MICHAEL. 21.
DUABD HAAKE. 21.
KENNETH HOEFS. 20.
Reynold Liss, Union Pacific
station agent at Valley, gave
this version of the accident:
A westbound freight was pull
ing through Valley on a branch
line about 1:15 a m. The east
bound City of Denver was ap
proaching on the main line,
which runs parallel with the
branch. The auto in which the
three youths were riding turned
south on Valley’s main street,
which intersects the railroad
tracks.
Liss said the car stopped at
the main line tracks. Another
car was in the area between
the main and the branch lines,
he continued, and the driver
of the car bearing the three
men apparently decided to get
* into the space between the
two lines iso.
He started to drive across the
tracks and had almost cleared
them when the streamliner clip
ped the rear of the vehicle. The
impact hurled the car across the
street and against a metal lamp
post, about 25 feet away. The
post was sheared off.
Car Travels 30 Feet
The car, still on its wheels,
stopped 30 feet away from the
tracks.
A hole was ripped in the rear
of the car and it is believed that
Hoefs and Haake were hurled
through the hole. The bodies
were found 51 and 54 feet from
the car.
Michael's body was found 20
feet south of the car. He is
believed to have been driving
and was thrown through the
left front door.
The acting Douglas county
coroner, George Sullivan, said
the warning signals were work
ing.
Haake and Michael were visit
ing with Hoefs, a Midland col
lege student and World War II
veteran, at Fremont.
The three were lifelong friends
and had been confirmed in the
same class at Concordia Luther
an church at Clearwater.
The Hoefs funeral service was

12 CHANGES ON
ZONING PLAN
Two amendments were add
ed to the citywide zoning pro
posal Friday night at an ad
journed meeting of the city
council. Both amendments re
sult in important changes to !
the zoning ordinance, which
has not yet been enacted but
lias been under consideration
for several months.
One amendment eliminated
the proposed business building
restrictions on east-west Doug
las street — the city’s mam
thoroughfare—from one end of
the city to the other. In the
original proposal, Douglas
street was intended to be both
residential and business.
The original draft of the or
dinance confined the building
of hatcheries to the socalled
industrial area, which would
be the vicinity of the railroad
tracks. An amendment adopt
ed at Friday’s session would
permit hatcheries to build any- |
where in the business or in
dustrial area. This amendment
was unanimously voted.
