The Helena Daily Independent, Sunday Morning, November 6, 1927 November 1927
Butte, Nov. 5.-- Mrs. Jane Phillips, 82, was instantly killed when struck by a 
street car while crossing the street in front of the chamber of commerce on 
West Broadway at 11:30 o'clock last night. The aged woman met her death as she 
was hurrying across the street to catch the car to take her to her home.

Examination by Dr. J. S. Swoboda at the Murray hospital, where she was taken by 
Officers Calpin and Van Orden, revealed that the woman's neck was broken and it 
is believed her skull was fractured, the doctor stated. Her face and head were 
badly discolored and deeply lacerated.

When Dan L. Griffith, motorman, stopped the car, Mrs. Phillips was lying face 
downward, directly across the tracks. The wheels of the street car did not pass 
over her body which was resting against the protective device in front of the 
car.

More than 50 persons gathered around the scene, though the street was 
practicaly deserted at the time of the accident.
