Former Howard Boy Run Down At Tulsa, Okla., By Unknown Car Driver. Tulsa Daily World 8th: W.A. Tullis, 28, North Frisca avenue, was run down and probably fatally injured by an unknown automobile at 9 o'clock last night. The accident occurred at First street and Denver avenue. The car had just emerged from the Frisco railway subway. Tullis was placed in an ambulance and rushed to the Tulsa hospital. The car that hit him drove away rapidly. Spectators told the police that the car had only one light in front. They said the license tag bore the number "45". This number according to the auto license record at police headquarter, belongs to some one at 18 West Third street, with a Cadillac car, but at a late hour last night the police had made no arrests, although Chief Yoder had personally engaged in the search for the car and its occupants. Dr. Fred S. Clinton, who treated the injured man, said his chances for recovery were slight. He had no pulse, and had not yet been in a condition to make a statement at midnight. He is a man about 40 years of age. His right leg is badly crushed and broken in several places. He has severe contusions on the right side of his head and the skin on his right elbow is cut to the bone. He is badly bruised all over. At the time of the accident, the car had just made the run up the steep incline of the subway and was going south. It is usual for cars to make the dash under the subway on high speed. The subway approach ends on First street at an intersection. Tullis was walking down First street at the time. The car knocked him down and the wind shield of the auto was broken by the impact. Glass was scattered all over the street. The World of the following morning said: Will Tullis who was run over by an unidentified automobile early last evening, died at the Tulsa hospital about one o'clock this morning. It is thought he leaves a wife and a daughter in New Mexico. Will Tullis is a former Howard boy but left here more than ten years ago. His remains were brought here Tuesday morning and buried in the Tullis family lots in Grace Lawn cemetery, the Modern Woodmen acting as pallbearers and conducting the burial. Will Tullis was an honest, industrious man. He had been married but his married life was unhappy. We believe he leaves no children. His wife, from whom he had been separated for many years, came to Howard with the remains and attended the burial. Mr. Tullis was about 55 years of age. He leaves an aged mother and one brother to mourn his untimely death. Al Tullis of Howard, is a cousin of the deceased. At last accounts the driver of the auto which killed Mr. Tullis had not yet been positively apprehended. It was a heartless criminal act and very nearly approaches murder.
