PATHEAL, BEATRICE
Picnic Trip Ends In Fatal Disaster

A high powered Nash car, driven by A. C. Pathael, of Fruitland with nine occupants, six of whom were children, left the road near Washoe school house about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning while on the way to Weiser to spend the Fourth, instantly killing Beatrice Pathael, aged 10, who with her mother, and two younger sisters from St. Maries, Idaho, were visiting relatives near Fruitland.

The other occupants of the car were Mrs. Ben Pathael, Lois, aged 7 and Echo, aged 3, of St. Maries, Mrs. H. Heckes and two younger sons, George, aged 12 and Carl, 9 and Gladys Melcher, all of Fruitland.

Mrs. Pathael and the baby were both thrown clear of the wreck and she managed to raise the machine sufficiently to allow the other children pinned under the car to crawl out. The daughter, Beatrice, apparently unconscious, was rushed to the hospital at Ontario and it was found that the hub of the wheel had struck her on the head causing instant death. Mrs. Pathael was severely bruised, Lois was also bruised and her elbow somewhat crushed, Gladys Melcher is still confined to her home with a badly bruised back, Mr. Pathael received severe cut about the face and the other members of the party were more or less bruised.

It is said that the Nash driver was racing with the Ford car, which had just passed, and Mr. Pathael signaled to repass but instead of going around the Ford, attempted to pass on the right and was evidently crowded off. It seems the driver had turned to the extreme right in rounding a slight curve where the road was somewhat wider, in order to pass, but just beyond the road narrowed up again, allowing the wheels to go off the grade. At this point it is believed that the ? wheel broke causing the machine to turn completely over smashing the top, windshield and steering wheel. (Riverside Cemetery)

FRENCH, BABY
FRENCH FAMILY MEETS DISASTER

Baby Fatally Injured in Auto Accident on Way Home

The Fred French family on their return trip from Chicago met misfortune near Medora, North Dakota when a front wheel of their "house on wheels" collapsed. Mrs. Fred French with her sleeping babe in arms and Mrs. C. S. French were thrown to the ground. The baby was fatally injured and the mother received a severe cut over the eye. The grandmother was injured about the face and probably has a broken leg. Other members of the family received minor injuries.

The accident happened at a place forty miles from a doctor, minister or undertaker, but tourists, settlers and a traveling health clinic gave aid to the family. According to a letter from Mrs. C. S. French received by Mrs. Leo Schmidt Monday, they are receiving splendid treatment by their new friends.

They were traveling about 10 miles an hour when the accident happened and the car did not turn over. The French's have the sympathy of a host of friends in the vicinity of New Plymouth.

A clipping from a North Dakota paper sent by Mrs. Walker Burke says the brakes on the car failed to hold it in descending a long hill. The car gained such a speed that Mr. French could not mesh gears in order to use the engine as a brake and gained so much momentum it was impossible to make the turn at the foot of the hill, plunged from the grade and overturned with the terrible results as related above.

Two baby boys were drowned in the westside lateral ditch one and one-half miles south of Fruitland Tuesday night when their mother, Mrs. John Driscoll, is believed to have been temporarily insane. After tossing the babies into the ditch, she tried to drown herself, but was rescued by her husband and Charles Henggler, a neighbor.

Death Calls Eldridge Lawrence Longwell

While living there, Lawrence confessed faith in Christ and United with the Christian church. In January 1921, Mr. Longwell moved to New Plymouth, Ida. to take charge of the Van Patten lumber yard. Here during the next year the entire family gained many freindships and were very faithful in church and town activities. On Oct. 31, 1921, the family was saddened by the death of Mrs. Longwell. Since that time Mr. Longwell has kept his children with him with the exception of last summer when they went east to spend their vacation with their grandparents. This fall Mr. Longwell's father and mother returned with them to Idaho to live here for the school year.

Lawrence has always seemed to be a robust boy but was taken ill suddenly Wednesday and in spite of all that could be done for him passed away Sunday morning at 10:30. The funeral was held Sunday evening at the Congregational church. The services were conducted by the Rev. Rice, Lawrence's scoutmaster.

"Larrie" was a faithful member of the Boy Scouts where he was known for his sunny dispostion and his willingness to do his share in every undertaking. He was a freshman in high school and a member of his class basketball team. He entered into all school activities with the greatest of interest. The whole high school was saddened Monday by his death. His teacher's missed his spontaneous smile and ready answers. Instead a group of boys about his seat in intermission enjoying his laughter and clever speeches, there was nothing but the empty desk to remind them of their loss. Lawrence was never morose, never rebellious, and did not hold a grudge against anyone. He was wise beyond his years in his courteous behavior and well chosen remarks concerning others - His absence from school will be felt keenly by class mates and teachers. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved ones in this their great and sudden loss.
