REICHART, 16, Postal Telegraph Company delivery boy, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Reichart, 1107 Seventh Avenue, was instantly killed shortly before 11 o'clock, Sunday night, when the truck in which he was riding with three companions collided with an eastbound Omaha Street Car at Twentieth Street and Avenue A. At noon Monday, Coroner Cutler had not learned to his own satisfaction whether the truck struck the street car or vice versa and was still conducting the investigation with street car officials. He will hold an inquest into the death, he said. The body of young Reichart was found tangled up in the rear truck of the street car and was removed by a coroner's assistant. His skull was fractured and there were cuts and bruises on his head. The truck was driven by William Beard, 17, of Gilliatt, Iowa. Roy Greenlee, 15, 1323 West Broadway, and Viola Colson, 16, 522 Twenty-Second Avenue, were passengers. Young Reichart, it is claimed, was riding with his back outside of the car, on the door of the truck. The party had been at a skating rink, according to young Greenlee and were taking a drive after the closing of the rink. Ray Krabbe, 1027 East Washington Avenue, motorman, stopped the car at the east crossing of Twentieth Street and he and his conductor, F.J. Wittenberg, 416 South Twenty-Second Street, started to make an investigation. It is claimed that the three other passengers in the light Ford truck disappeared for a short time, due to fright, but later returned. They thought, it was learned, that Reichart also had disappeared, but after a search his body was located under the rear end of the street car. Krabbe was the first to give the alarm, when he called police. Officers McDaniels and Brown were hurried from the police station. Coroner cutler was called and took charge of the case. It was some time before the identity of young Reichart could be established. His brother, when called by telephone by the police, at first thought it was someone perpetrating a ghastly joke, but was soon made to realize the truth of the statement. The body was taken to Cutler's funeral home pending inquest and funeral arrangements. William Beard, the driver of the truck, suffered a sprained back and two others were badly shaken up. Reichart is survived by his parents, and two brothers, Robert J. and Lee J., at home. Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil, Tues., 19 Oct 1926, p.5 Andrew J. Reichart—Funeral Services Coroner Henry Cutler has selected a jury composed of C.L. Kendrick, Harold B. Hetrick and James R. Leverett to hear testimony at the inquest in the case of Andrew J. Reichart, 16, Postal Telegraph Company delivery boy, killed in a collision of the truck in which he was riding and a street car at Twentieth Street and Avenue A late Sunday night. The date of the inquest will be announced later. Appearances would indicate that the truck ran into the street car, according to street car employees who have given the matter attention, but this fact has not been clearly established, it is said. Funeral services for young Reichart will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Peter's Catholic Church, low mass being celebrated by Rev. Father Stein. Burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery.
