C. P. Oaks. Shiocton. died at her home about eight o'clock this morning of injuries which she received when an automobile in which she was riding ran into a stone crusher on the main street in Shiocton about two o'clock this morning. The young woman had been unconscious since her in- jury. Miss Oaks and her companion, Jesse Poole, were returning in Mr. Poole's car from a dance in Black Creek when the accident occurred. A stone crusher owned by J. Nelson had been left standing on the street, near a railroad intersection, with two wheels on the edge of the concrete. A heavy oak working table projected about two feet from the machine out Into the street. Mr. Poole, who was driving about 20 miles an hour, cut diagonally across the railroad tracks to avoid a hard hump and ran into the projecting table which was high enough to crash through the windshield. The glass and table struck Miss Oaks in the breast, smashing in her ribs, puncturing one lung, breaking her arm and her nose. The car struck the obstruction with such force that Miss Oaks was pushed through the back of the seat. Mr. Poole, who escaped all injury, rushed the girl to her home and summoned medical aid. She died at eight o'clock this, morning. The young woman is survived by her parents, a brother and a sister.
