LOUISE ZANDER
REPORT BRIDGE WAS DARK WHEN 3 WERE KILLED
That the fatal accident at Sturgeon Bay Wednesday night in which Miss Louise Zander of this city and two others lost their lives was due to the fact that the lights on the bridge were not in working order, is the belief of Edward Burns and Henry Schweda, brothers-in-law of Miss Zander, who returned from Sturgeon Bay last night, accompanying the body of the girl. A woman and two boys who are said to have witnessed the accident, declared that the light was not burning.The body of Miss Zander was taken to the Burns home on So. Eighth street and the funeral will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Boniface church, with interment at Evergreen cemetery where the father of the unfortunate
victim of the tragedy is buried. According to information secured by Mesrs. Burns and Schweda at Sturgeon Bay the three occupants of the car were thrown across the electric wires by the collision of the car with the bridge railing, which permitted the wheels on one side of the car to go off the bridge. When found the three bodies were resting with heads on the wires and feet in the automobile. Miss Zander's body had no mark, except for a groove on the chin where the wire had rested as the current killed her. Both Miss Zander and Mr. Delwich were still alive when they were lifted from the wire and car but the girl died before reaching the hospital and Delwich a few minutes after arrival. The Dendil lad was dead when found.
