VIOLET MASSMANN 4 YEAR OLD VIOLET MASSMAN KILLED UNDER AUTOMOBILE ON WASHINGTON ST. SUNDAY Child Rushes from Walk and Collides With Machine and is Thrown Under It— Skull Fractured and Death Comes a Few Minutes Later Another automobile tragedy marked the passing of the annual Labor day holiday in the city, Little Violet, four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Massman, 921 South Eighteenth street, being the victim of the fatality. The child died as a result of injuries sustained early Sunday when she was struck by an automobile driven by Edgar Miller, son of P.A. Miller, when she ran into the machine while crossing the street at Eighteenth and Washington streets. The child was thrown under the wheels and died at the hospital after having been picked up unconscious. Mr. Miller, aged 22, was driving a Reo car and accompanied by Erwin Pentzien, a friend, and was going east on Washington street as the Massman child, in company of her aunt, Miss Anna Massman, was returning to her home from a meat market near by. At Eighteenth and Washington the child pulled away from Miss Massman and rushed into the street, colliding with the running board of the automobile and being thrown under the car. The machine, according to eye witnesses was not proceeding at a high rate of speed and was stopped by Mr. Miller within a few feet of the spot at which the child collided with it. Mr. Miller and Luis Bull who witnessed the accident, picked the child up and she was taken in Mr. Miller’s car. At Twelfth street Dr. G.W. Patchen who was driving by was summoned and directed that the little girl be taken to the hospital. The child lived about twenty minutes after reaching the hospital. It was found that her skull had been fractured. It is believed that in colliding with the machine the little girl was struck by the fender and sustained the fracture as she was thrown to the ground under the car. Mr. Miller is exonerated from blame for the accident by eye witnesses who say that the little girl evidently did not see the machine coming and rushed into it and that the driver was unable to avoid the collision. Mr. and Mrs. Massman exonerate Mr. Miller. The funeral was held this morning. The sympathy of the community will be extended to the parents and to Mr. Miller. Labor day a year ago witnessed the tragedy at the Two Rivers crossing of the Northwestern in which four met death in an automobile accident when their car was run down by a train.
