CAR CRASHED INTO POLE
Believe Driver Fell Asleep While Enroute From Denison to Manning Early Tuesday Morning

Mike Wagner, 20, and Herman Kuehl, 20, were killed and Robert Messick seriously injured in an automobile accident early Tuesday morning when the Hudson coach in which they were riding left the road One mile west of Manning and crashed into a large electric light pole.

The boys had attended the dance at the Uwana Dance Pavilion Monday evening, spent the night in Denison and were returning to their homes in Manning when the accident occurred. It is believed that Kuehl, who was driving the car, went to sleep as the car tracks showed that the cur was driven along the edge of the grade some distance before it went into the ditch and crashed into the pole.

Henry Duchek, of Austin, Minnesota, who was driving to Nebraska, discovered the accident at 6:20 a.m., and employees of the Manning power plant arrived at the scene a few minutes later. They said that fuses were blown out at the plant at 6:18 a. m., the probable time of the accident. Kuehl was found dead behind the steering wheel with his neck broken, Wagner was dead on the running board of the car and Messick was thrown over a wire fence, his right hip crushed and his right leg fractured above and below the knee. Messick was rushed to the Wyatt Hospital and attending physicians hold but little hope for his recovery. Tuesday evening he showed some improvement, but he has been growing gradually weaker today.

The car struck the pole a glancing blow and the pole was broken off above the ground. The right side the car from the windshield back was torn off.

Wagner was the son of William Wagner of Manning, and Kuehl made his home with his mother, Mrs. Pete Kuehl Sr., of Manning. Messick was an entertainer in the Pete Kuehl orchestra and is a brother of Fred Messick, of Denison.
Note: Kuehl is the German variation of Kühl but the Manning Kuhl family spelled it Kuhl without the umlaut or e variations.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR HERMAN KUHL AND HENRY WEGNER HELD THURSDAY- FRIDAY
Victims of an Automobile Accident Here Last Tuesday

Few more tragic tales have been recorded in the annals of Carroll County than that enacted at our little city in the morning hour of Tuesday, October 15. When the final debris was cleared away, Henry Wegner and Herman Kuhl were dead, and Robert Messick was seriously injured. The countryside was shocked beyond measure and the remark, "you never can tell" was made in a hushed voice.

In the early morning hour, when people began to rise from their slumbers and prepare for their daily activities, the news came that and, automobile accident had occurred about a mile west of town. Tourists from Minnesota passing by stopped to render aid and send in a call.

Three young men, barely out of their teens, the pride and hopes of their parents, guardians and relatives were returning from a night's entertainment, where they mixed with their best friends in jollity, and parted from them with a smile and a "Good Bye" - it was a farewell forever from the two.

The heartbreaking news to their parents and guardians who with tender care and loving hearts have guarded and cared for them all these years, is almost beyond human strength. The many relatives and friends of these young men are grief-stricken and their heartfelt sympathy is extended to the immediate relatives in their hour of sorrow.
