FOUR DIE IN COOK CRASH

Three persons, two women and a man, were killed outright, and another man died at noon Monday from injuries received last Sunday morning, when a Greyhound bus crashed into the automobile in which the two couples were returning to Chicago from Cedar Lake. The accident occurred on state road 41, at Cook. The dead are Elinar Hessler, 34 years old, 7827 Avalon avenue; Miss Anna Anderson, 38 years old, of the Senate hotel, 1447 East 55th street; Mrs. Hedwig Anderson, 35 years old and Kalix Palmberg, of 6916 Indiana avenue, who died Monday noon at the St. Margaret’s Hospital, in Hammond. The victims’ car, owned by Palmberg and presumably driven by him at the time of the accident, drove from the Cedar Lake road onto 41, Without observing the stop sign, according to the bus driver, Frank Landerville, of Indianapolis. He also reported that the demolished car was travelling at a high speed. It’s rear end was struck by the bus. Palmberg, the only member of the party who was not killed instantly, was rushed to St. Margaret’s Hospital, where an examination revealed a fracture of the skull and other serious injuries. He died at noon, Monday, without having regained consciousness.
