    • KILLED BY TOURIST
      Josephine Herring Victim of Automobile.
      Child Lived But Few Minutes After Being Struck_Accident Considered Unavoidable
      Josephine Herring, three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Herring, of East Ninth street, was struck and killed Saturday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock by an automobile driven by a tourist giving the name of T.J. Laune, who said his home was in New York City.
      The accident occurred in front of the garage of Renner brothers, in East Tenth street, and was witnessed by the child's mother and aunt, Miss Dorothy Carter, and also several men who were at the garage. The witnesses believe it was unavoidable.
      With her little brother, the child had crossed the street from the home of her grandmother, Mrs. John R. Carter, to the garage. After they had played there a short time they were called back by Miss Dorothy Carter, and it was while they were crossing the street to return that the car struck her.
      Witnesses say that as the child started across the street she looked to the east to see if the street was clear but failed to look to the west. The car that hit her was coming from the west and was traveling at a speed between 20 and 25 miles an hour.
      Laune said after the accident that he was watching a cow that was in the street and did not see the child until he was almost upon her. She had got out into the street five or six feet beyond an automobile that mechanics at the garage were working on before she was struck. She was knocked down by the fender and it is believed that both the front and rear wheels of the machine passed over her head. She breathed 15 or 20 minutes after the accident but was never conscious.
      Laune stopped his car as quickly as he could and went into the house of Mrs. Carter when the child was taken in. He said then that he would remain in Fulton for a day, but shortly afterward he decided to continue his journey and drove away.
      Laune talked with Ben Renner, one of the owners of the garage. He said he wad been working as an automobile mechanic in Arizona, and that work having become slack there, he was returning to his family in New York City. He spoke with a foreign accent. Mr. Renner thinks he was driving an old Pierce-Arrow car. The machine had been converted into a semi- truck by the removal of the rear seat and the substitution of a small truck body for it. The car was heavily loaded with boxes that were covered with canvas. Laune was driving by himself.
      Funeral services for the child were held at the home Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock by the Rev. R.C. Holliday, of the Methodist church, assisted by the Rev. W. Garnet Alcorn, of the Christian church. Burial was in Hillcrest cemetery.
      Besides her parents, the little girl is survived by one sister, Margaret, and one brother, D.W., Jr. she was an active, bright little girl and was a general favorite in a neighborhood where there are many children. Great sympathy is felt in the city for all who are bereaved by her tragic death.
