PAUL MEN IN ACCIDENT Tragedy Happened Sunday Night near Pittsburg-Chris Brogan Dies Death came to Chris Brogan, aged 38, of St. Paul, Kas., at Mt. Carmel hospital, in Pittsburg Monday morning, following a motor car accident eight miles northeast of Pittsburg Sunday night at 7 o'clock. Brogan was riding in a Ford car belonging to and driven by Charles Dent, a mail carrier of St. Paul, with a brother, N.J. Brogan and William Clary, also of St. Paul, when the car turned over as the driver swerved the car to the side of the road to pass another car. All of the occupants of the car were thrown violently to the ground but none were pinned beneath it. Chris Brogan was knocked unconscious and never regained consciousness. He died at 6 o'clock Monday morning. N.J. Brogan and Charles Dent were also severely injured, while mr. Clary was only slightly bruised. Clary and Chris Brogan were sitting in the rear seat. All the occupants were taken to Mt. Carmel hospital in the Ellsworth-Gruber ambulance. The motor car was a new one. The top and wind shield were shattered in the crash. The men said they were driving slowly at the time of the accident and could not explain how the car happened to turn over. Mr. Brogan was the manager of the Farmer's Union elevator at St. Paul. He is survived by his widow and several children. The body was taken to his home in St. Paul Monday morning. The funeral was held at the home tuesday. Hope this helps, Rose
