James Fulton Fatally Hurt Monday Night
Dies In Local Hospital Three Hours After Hit By Hit-Run Driver
James Loren Fulton, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs._J.R._Fulton, of Cooper, died at Janes Clinic and Hospital Monday morning at 4:30 o'clock less than three hours after he was struck by a hit and run driver on the Cooper-Commerce Highway.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 3 o'clock at the Methodist church with the Rev. Earl M. Jones in charge. Burial will take place in the Klondike Cemetery. Smith Funeral Home has charge of the arrangements.
Young Fulton was brought to the hospital in a Smith Funeral Home ambulance suffering from a severe head injury, a terribly crushed hip and broken left leg. He did not regain consciousness before his death.
Officers were notified at 1:45 o'clock by J. W. Terry, of Paris, that a man's body was lying on the highway a short distance from the first bridge east of the Camp Lake store. Sheriff J. G. McKee and Deputy Sam Martin left immediately to investigate. Mr. Terry said he made an effort to telephone to Cooper to summon aid but was unable to locate a phone so he drove in.
Mr. Martin said when he arrived Fulton had in some manner moved off the highway shoulder where Mr. Terry saw him and was in the bottom of the ditch. Mr. Martin believed he was partly conscious when he arrived and made attempts to answer questions although his replies were unintelligible.
The officers decided after looking over the scene of the accident that Fulton, who left Commerce about 1 o'clock on his way home, had stopped his car on the highway shoulder and had just opened the left door when he was hit, probably by a truck. His body was dragged 45 feet along the highway, marks made by his white shoes showed. The driver did not stop and efforts by officers to trace him had proved fruitless through Monday afternoon."
