A FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL KILLED WHILE PLAYING ON PAVEMENT ON SECOND AVENUE SOUTH.

Dorathy Winterton, 5 years of age, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winterton, who live 
at 10th street and second Avenue South, died at the office of Dr. J. C. 
Woodward, Wednesday evening at 11:30, following an auto accident near her home 
at 3:30 in the afternoon.  The child was playing on the pavement and was 
running behind a wagon driven by Chet Graves, who was going east, and when 
opposite the Winterton home started to leave the pavement and ran into the side 
of an auto driven by B. C. Morse, who had turned out in meeting the wagon.  The 
force of the moving car threw the child to the pavement fracturing her skull 
and hip-bone.  She was brought to Dr. Woodward’s office, where Dr. I. R. 
Woodward was called in consultation and later Dr. E. O. Finney of Weiser.  The 
child passed away without regaining consciousness.  
The Winterton family came her from Nampa only a few days ago and stopped to 
work in the Fruit while enroute to Oregon.  The body was taken to the Peterson 
undertaking parlor, and will probably be taken to Nampa for burial. 
There is no blame attached to the driver of the car as the accident was 
unavoidable on his part.  However Mr. Morse feels very badly and has offered to 
defray all doctor bills and other expenses.
