Little Schaefer Boy Killed At Mt Angel
George Schaefer, 4 1/2 year old ,was almost instantly killed at Mt Angel 
Sunday afternoon when a car driven by Henry Lucht,a farmer living north of Mt 
Angel,struck him.Lucht,it is said,was driving at a moderate speed when he 
observed children playing on the highway.he undertook to dodge a child 
standing on the right hand side of the road,and as he turned the machine to 
the left the little Schaefer boy was knocked down and the car passed over his 
body.
Persons who witnessed the accident hold the driver blameless.It was a case of 
hitting one or the other of the little ones playing in the road,and the little 
Schaefer boy happened to be the victim.
Coroner Rigdon of Salem investigated the case Monday and decided that it was 
purely an accident for which no one could be held responsible
