Rowen had been called to the
road by his uncle. Gideon Rowen.
The latter , had parked his car
pract ioaly .orf the pavement head

nephew several minutes, before
he turned to leave. Evidently
without the least thought of other
traffic he started at a half trot
across, the road to be knocked
down by the McKee car. His skull
and jaw were fractured besides
several contusions on the body
causing instant death.
McKee was driving at approxi
mately 25 , miles pes hour being
followed by T. E. Preston, Silver

his report. Roth men were going
to Rickreall where McKee is con
structing a service station and
barbecue stand.
McKee stopped his car within a
few feet of the spot where Rowen
went down, too late however to
save Bowen's life. JCo inquest was
taken as all evidence pointed that
McKee was not at fault. His form
