INJURIES RECEIVED IN LABOR DAY ACCIDENT FATAL
George W. Beck Dies From Blood Poisoning Resulting From Broken Kneecap.
Following injuries received in an automobile accident on Labor day while enroute to the Lincoln farm ceremonies, George W. W. Beck, 43 years old, a saloon-keeper at West and Madison streets, died at 3:15 yesterday afternoon at the Deaconess Hospital.
Beck was driving the car at the time of the accident, which occurred on the Eighteenth-street road near Orell station. His knee cap was broken and blood poisoning set in a few days after his removal to the hospital. He was operated on three times in an effort to save his life. Hope was not abandoned until three days ago when lockjaw developed.
In the automobile at the time of the accident were Police Captain Edward Pulford and Lieut. George Clifford. Both suffered minor injuries from which they have recovered. The blow out of a tire is said to have caused the machine to leave the road and crash into a telephone pole.
Beck was a member of the Moose and Eagle fraternal orders and of the Mose Green Club. He was unmarried and is survived by three brothers, John W., Joseph and Louis Beck…. Burial will be in Cave Hill.
