RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED Popular Young People Known By Newcastle People - Edith Leavel Leader In Younger Set. ---------- (Special to The Daily Courier.) TIPTON, Ind., July 23 - Edith Leavel, 18, was instantly killed and Robert Pike, 18, Russell Davis, 17, and Wilda Foster, 16, injured Wednesday night when an automobile in which they were riding turned over. The young people had gone for a joy ride in the G. G. Davis touring car and Robert Pike was driving. When about a mile west of this city, they attempted to turn out for another car and in endeavoring to gain the roadway their car was turned over, but righted itself on its wheels. Edith Leavel was thrown from the car and her head was crushed by a wheel as the machine turned over. Robert Pike was caught under the car as it turned over and his head and back were injured, with bad cuts on his body. His injuries were considered serious. Russell Davis was badly injured about the head and back, but not seriously, Wilda Foster escaped with only a few bruises. What Other Parties Say. Stores by parties who met the joy rides say that the Davis machine was running at a high rate of speed and that they were handling the machine carelessly. There is not a whole bone left in the dead girl's body from the shoulder blade up, and blood and hair on the left hind wheel of the car tell the story. She is the daughter of Leo Leavel, of the firm of Leavel & Rouls, real estate brokers. Pike is the son of Frank Pike, a local attorney; Davis is the son of G. G. Davis, grain buyer, and Miss Foster is the daughter of Mrs. Cora Foster, jeweler. All are high school students and popular young people. The machine was wrecked. ---------- Known To Reverend Trabue. Dead Girl And Two Others Were Members Of Methodist Choir. The four persons in the accident were well known to Rev. O. A. Trabue of the Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Leavell, the dead girl, Robert Pike and Russell Davis were members of his church at Tipton and prominent members of the church choir. Miss Foster was also a prominent young lady in that city. Miss Leavell was a high school student and was very popular, not only with her class, but with the younger people of the city. She was very beautiful and her winning ways made her many friends. Young Pike, who was driving the machine at the time of the catastrophe, is an inexperienced driver, having driven a car but a few times. Pike himself was seriously injured. The death of Miss Leavell is similar to that of Miss Imogene Smith. Both were very popular in their respective cities. The accident will probably affect the city of Tipton in the same manner that the Richmond accident affected this city. Miss Leavell is survived by her parents and three sisters, Ruth, Nina and Geraldine. (This article was copied as printed in the newspaper.)
