Alger Man Killed Under Auto
Clem Newland Has Neck Broken as Car Turtles
Clem Newland, 31, farmer, residing two miles east of Alger, was instantly killed at 5 p.m. Tuesday when the car which he was driving into Alger from his home turned over on him, breaking his neck.
Coroner Glenn Hanson, after investigation, said death was accidental.
None saw the accident which occurred a mile from Alger, but it is believed Newland was driving at a high rate of speed and while trying to get out of a rut in the road, caused his car to turn turtle. The automobile turned over in the center of the road, pinning him underneath.
A passing motorist saw the car and called persons nearby who removed the body and notified the coroner.
