According to a report made to police by G. N. Dixon, operator of the one-man car which ran down Woodruff, the latter had stepped off another car and walked directly in front of the oncoming Ballard car. Physicians at the hospital reported that Woodruff was suffering from a fractured skull and broken arm."

"H. Woodruff Dead
Normie Woodruff is in reciept of a letter from his father telling of the death of his uncle, Harry Woodruff, a younger brother of Mr. Clayton Woodruff, at Seattle. He was killed in a street railway accident, but the particulars are still quite meagre. It seems that for some years past he has been prospecting in the Klondike country and had just returned to Seattle. Stepping off one street car he inadvertently got in front of another one and was so badly injured that he died within a few hours. Harry was one of the Norm Woodruff boys and his boyhood home was on the farm now owned by Mr. W. H. Bagley in Rose Hill. He left here with the family many years ago and only the old timers would remember him."
