WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO – IDENTITY OF VICTIM IS NOT DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED.

Car Driven by John M. Eisenblatter, of Scappoose, Figures in Traffic Fatality.

A woman, whose identity had not been definitely established last night, sustained a fracture of a leg and a fractured skull, from which she later died, when she was struck by an automobile driven by John M. Eisenblatter, a rural mail carrier of Scappoose, at Fourth and Jefferson streets yesterday. She was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital by the Ambulance Service Company.

According to Mr. Eisenblatter's statement to Harry P. Coffin, of the Public Safety Commission, he was driving south on Fourth street. The woman was going in the same direction on the east side of the street. Mr. Eisenblatter turned east, but to the left side of the street to pass a truck. The wheels of the car caught in the car tracks of the Southern Pacific Company's line and he was unable to turn the machine to avoid hitting the woman. He applied the brakes, but the right fender struck the woman.

A witness to the accident told Patrolment Miller and Wellbrook that he thought the woman was a Mrs. William Stevens, who was to arrive from San Francisco and meet her husband at the St. Charles Hotel last night. Mr. Stevens had left for the Dalles with a son Lyman Stevens, of 288 Fourth street. Lyman Stevens was called back and arrived last night, but at the hospital just before she died said the woman was not his mother.
