DEATH RIDES FROM INN WITH MOTOR PARTY

Army Officer Dies; Trolley Crushes Soldier's Fiancee.

Joy turned to tragedy for Sunday pleasure seekers in Chicago yesterday when accidents -- street car and automobile -- claimed a toll of six lives.

Three were killed at Niles Center, when an automobile struck a safety island after a night devoted to cerebrating in honor of the guest of the driver, his sister from Kansas. A bottle of whisky, unsmashed, was found in the car.

The fiancee of a soldier lost her life when a Kedzie avenue street car leaped the track and buried her in a sand pile.

An army captain celebrating his thirtieth birthday and first day in civilian clothes was killed at Ashland avenue and Wellington when two automobiles collided.

One man died of wounds suffered in an automobile accident Saturday.
