The foregoing verdict was brought tn by the jury sitting at the coroner's inquest into the death of four-year- old Charles Greife, who was almot Instant killed at 4:15 Wednesd: afternoon. when he was hit by truck ‘on South Lincoln street be. tween, Fifth arti Badger streets y is the son of Mrs. Helen a widow who lives with wisi Mr Charles Ewing at ifth street. East The truck, a Dodge service car used by the gas department of-the New York Ol company, was driven by James Hoxle of §42 CY avenue. It s going- south on Lincoln strest at the time of the accident and had reached a point about 150 feet from the Intersection of Badger. Evidence introduced at the inquest this morning, which was conducted by E. H. Foster, prosecuting attor- ney, assisted by Lew Gay, coroner. tended to show that the machine was traveling between 12 and 15 miles per hour when the boy was hit. Hoxie, the driver, testified that he had not seen the boy until the fender hit him. Hoxie pulled the truck into the curb, picked the boy up and took him to the county hos pital, but the injuries to his head proved fatal. 8S. C. Lanham of 717 South Lincoln street, a truck salesman, was one of the most material witnesses. He related that he was following the truck in his own machine. He sald that the truck was going not more than 15 miles per hour and that it} was stopped within 60 feet after hitting the boy. None of the witnesses were able to testify to the boy's actions just previous to the accident. It is pre- sumed that he was playing and darted into the street, directly in front of the oncoming machine. He was almost in the center of the street when he was struck. Max Winter, testifying for the New York O!l company, showed time slips that proved that four hours work had been done on the truck the previous evening by three me- chanics which included relining the brakes. The witnesses included F. A. Carpenter, Mrs. C. K. Fletcher, Ed- ward Blattenberg and Charles Crockett, 15 and 14 year old schoo! boys, J. C. Lanham, James Hoxie, Dr. Alan McLe!lan, M. J. Fannan, R.

Scholars who have grown up In a classic atmosphere beneath the meliowing influence of great names will view with approval the news that Casper ts running out of direc tions. Not caring to box the com pass to the extent of its 32 points. the members of the Casper schoo! board have decided to change the names of Casper’s schools. North Casper, South Casper, East Casper, West Casper, are to'give way before the roster of presidents or of Amer. ica’s literary hel! of fame, or some other halj equally notable. The prosaic appelations which the local educational institutions bear at the present time are painful to the sensibilities of those who have artistic ideas of education. In fact they are painful to everyone's sen- sibllitie: Names which have been suggested as being appropriate to cast thelr glamor over the ever increasing piles of red brick are the following: Horace Mann, John Marshall, Jef- ferson; Washington, Lafayette, Lincoln, Longfellow, Whittter, Whit- man, Emerson; McKinley, Hamilton. Cleve'and, and Harding. Casper citizens who have other names in mind which they would like to see attached to their favorite school or to any of the schools are requested to send them to the board. pecsehsuas ee A stenerhin NATURALIZATION COURT WILL SIT THIS MONTH | Naturalization hearings for per sons wishing to become citizens of |the United States will be held in | Casper November 22 and 23 accord |ing to an announcement made this morning by Hazel Conwell, clerk of the court.
