Mrs.Chas Klohe Is Killed By Train
Death Follows Accident At Grade crossing Here Yesterday Morning
Mrs.chas Klohe was seriously and perhaps fatally injured yesterday forenoon  
when her car was struck by passenger train No.7 at theh crossing on Molalla 
Avenue. She was taekn to the hospital in Oregon City immediately following her 
great misfortune, but her condition was criticall and there was little hope 
entertained for her recovery.
Mrs. Klohe had driven her car for a number of years, and was considered by 
persons familair with her habits to be very careful.She was driving south on 
Molalla street when the accident occurred, and on account of the dense fog was 
unabl eto see the approaching train.There is no signal of any kind at this 
crossing,or at any crossing in Canby,where several accident shave occurred 
within the past few years,and mrs.Klohe evidently thought the highway was open 
before undertaking to drive over the crossingnmaienot f n and turned over in a 
ditch on the west side of the street.Mrs.Klohe was taken to White's garage, 
where first aid was given,and then removed to the hospital in an ambulance.
The car,in which the unfortunate woman was riding alone, was completely 
wrecked.
The grade crossing at Molalla Avenue is a dangerous place,especially in winter 
months,when fog and rain often hinders observation, and it is felt by many 
citizens that a signal should be placed at that crossing and also at a 
crossing on Weed Street, Where Mrs. Geo. Bates met death some little time ago.
LATER- It was lerned late last evening that Mrs.Klohe died at the hospital a 
few minutes after nine o'clock.
