The Helena Daily Independent, Monday Morning, Ocober 28, 1929 October 1929
Butte, Oct. 27 -- (AP) -- Elizabeth Kelly, 22 and Dennis Holland, 21, widely 
known Butte young people, who graudate from St. Mary's grade school together 
several years ago and were childhood chums, were killed in two automobile 
accidents about three hours apart early this morning. 

The Kelly girl was struck by a taxicab as she stepped off the curb on East Park 
street in the heart of the business district, about 2 a.m. She was dragged for 
more than 150 feet before the cab was stopped, authorities said. She died 
before she could be taken to a hospital.

Dixie LaHood, well known prizefighter, the driver of the cab, was being held in 
the county jail here tonight without bail. Manslaughter charges will be 
preferred against him tomorrow. Chief Deputy County Attorney, N. A. Rotering 
said. LaHood reported the accident to police immediately after it happened.

Holland, returning from a country dance, was fatally injured when his car 
struck a stretch of sand beside the road three miles south of Butte and turned 
over twice. Passersby hurried him to a hospital where he died within a few 
minutes.
