FATAL MOTOR ACCIDENT
Another of those tragedies seemingly inevitably connected with the increase of motors on public streets occurred at Two Rivers Monday when Richard Hanson(sic), aged 7, was struck by a big truck of the Schroeder Company and died from the resulting injuries in a few hours. The lad started to cross the street and became confused by cars coming from opposite directions. He was a fine little fellow and his death cast a pall over Two Rivers.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH SADDENS HOME
Another home was saddened when Richard, aged 7, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Anton Hansen of the Eastside was run over by an auto truck Monday
morning and received injuries from which he died a few hours later.
Little Richard was standing near the 17th street bridge when he hitched
on behind the Nelson Lumber auto truck. About the middle of the bridge
he let go and fell under the rear wheels of Schroeder Bros. Truck which
was coming from the opposite direction and one of the wheels passed over
his stomach. Another little fellow also took a hitch on the Nelson truck
also came near being run down but Hubert Schroeder who was driving the
machine, which weighs 3000 pounds was able to avoid him.
Schroeder immediately picked up the Hanson lad and took him to a
physician where he was given the best possible attention and taken home.
He lingered a few hours, kissed members of the family good bye and
passed away.
The county coroner exonerated Mr. Schroeder of all blame for the
accident and no inquest was deemed necessary. Besides his parents the
lad leaves two sisters, Margaret, aged 13 and LaVerne, aged 9. The
funeral was from St. Luke's church this morning.
