AUTOMOBILE KILLED DAUGHTER OF FORMER RESIDENT

Word has been received here of the accidental death 'of Genevieve Lehman, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J.. Lehman, of Oklahoma City. The mother of the little girl was formerly Miss Ethel Sprigg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. W* Sprigg, former residents of Rensselaer, and a cousin of Leslie Clark, of this city. According to an Oklahoma City paper, Mrs. Lehman and three children started across the street in front of an approaching automobile driven by Miss Linnie King. Little Genevieve ’ had crossed the street but became frightened and darted back* towards her mother and directly in front of the automobile. The car was not going more than ten miles an hour, but a stop could not be made until the weels had passed over and crushed the life of the little one. No blame is attached to the driver of the car, according to a statement made by Mrs. Lehman. .
