R. H. Pangburn, born in Sauk Centre 66 years ago, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Pangburn, died from injuries received by being struck by a hit and run driver at Moorhead early Saturday evening.
About 15 minutes before the collision the police of Moorheead(sic) had been notified by the owner, that the car had been stolen.
Eye witnesses of the tragedy state that Mr. Pangburn was riding his motorcycle at a moderate rate of speed on the right hand side of the highway. Without warning he was struck from the rear. The driver of the oncoming car did not see what damage had been inflicted, but stepped on the gas. A man residing on the opposite of the street was about to get out of his car. Noting the accident, he followed the departing car. When in the country a short ways the escaping man slaughterer was stopped cold with a puncture in the tire of one of the rear wheels of the auto. He abandoned the car at once and escaped into the heavy underbrush.
The man in pursuit took the number of the car only to find that it had been stolen a few minutes before. The guilty man escaped as no one had a personal description which would identify him.
Mr. Pangburn was hurried to a hospital where a hasty diagnosis disclosed that an immediate amputation of his left leg would be necessary if Mr. Pangburn's life was to be saved. He was injured internally, and passed away on the operating table.
His remains were brought to this city, Monday evening and taken to the home of the sister of the deceased, Mrs. J. A. Caughren.
The funeral was held from the Caughren home Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 P. M., conducted by Rev. C. J. Morgan, pastor of the First Congregational church.
The pall bearers were four brothers and two nephews: W. E. Pangburn, Arthur Pangburn, David Pangburn, Ed Pangburn, Earl Pangburn, Harry Pangburn.
