ANDREW HERMANN KILLED.______ Well-Known German Citizen of Kauf- Andrew Hermann, a German farmer living near Terrell, fell from an electric car on Live Oak street about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, striking his head upon a stone and fracturing his skull. The car was running at a fair rate of speed, and it is not really known whether Hermann jumped from the car or fell off. He had just left some friends down near the courthouse and was going out to see another who lives on Cantegral street. He was picked up unconscious and carried to the hospital, where he died within an hour. He came to Dallas Sunday night and was at the Katy depot when the singers left for San Antonio. He had been talking to August Mueller just a short while previous to the accident and announced to Mueller his intention to go out the Live Oak line. Hermann was 55 years old and leaves a wife and four children. His family were apprised of the accident by wire. The remains will be shipped to his home. - April 28, 1896, Dallas Morning News |
