AUTO KILLS WOMAN

Mrs. Mary Walker Fatally Injured By Machine

Three Other Persons Suffer Hurts as Result of Traffic Accidents Due to Snow

An aged woman was fatally injured and three other persons were hurt in traffic accidents reported to the police, largely the result of the snow and rainstorm that swept over the city yesterday and last night.

The fatal accident involved Mrs. Mary Walker, a pioneer woman of Bremerton, 59 years old, who was struck by an automobile driven by Gilbert B. Butterworth, Jr., member of a pioneer Seattle family. Mrs. Walker was injured at 5:30 o'clock on Westlake Avenue, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. She was removed to the City Hospital, where she died at midnight. Her husband was notified and made the run from Bremerton to Seattle in a launch.

Mrs. Walker had come to Seattle yesterday afternoon to visit Mrs. Laura Coykendall, 922 Lenora St., and to have a pair of glasses fitted. She was on the way to the optician when the accident occurred, in company with Mrs. Heeley. Her husband, A.H. Walker, is employed in the general storehouse at the navy yard, and has been a resident of the Bremerton district for the last 17 years. Mrs. Walker had herself been a resident nearly as long. Their home is in North Charleston, a suburb.
