WALTER PICKERELL DIES FOLLOWING ACCIDENT
City Councilman Walter Pickerell, who was injured Monday night in a collision with an automobile driven by Joe Gardella on the South Virginia road, died at 12:30 o'clock this morning without regaining consciousness. The funeral will probably be held Friday afternoon.
Fracture of the base of his skull was the cause of Pickerell's death, according to Dr. S. K. Morrison who attended the injured man.
"The injury was of a fatal nature and so terrible that the result was inevitable" the doctor stated today.
Pickerell was councilman from the First ward. He was born and raised in this county, spending his boyhood on a ranch north of Reno. At one time he was a fireman on the railroad, but an accident that cost him the sight of one eye caused him to leave railroading and he became a stationary engineer, working in various parts of the county. At the time of his death he was connected with the state highway department and was handling the heavy steam rollers used in the department's work on the South Virginia road.
It was while on his return from his work south of the city that Pickerell, riding a motorcycle, collided with Gardella, who was driving ahead of him. Gerdella explains the accident by the statement that just before he turned into Holcomn Lane on his way home, he heard Pickerell honk the motorcycle horn and put out his hand before making the turn into the lane. Pickerell's motorcycle ran into the side of the automobile. Pickerell was immediately brought to a hospital and Dr. Morrison and Dr. West were called in to handle the case.
Pickerell was forty-four years old and was born next door to the house on Humboldt street in which he was living at the time of his death. The widow, two brothers, Fred and William, a nephew, M. L. Millsaps, and a cousin, I. L. Millsaps, all of Reno, survive him.
