Merchant Killed by Speeding Trolley Car
Charles Propfe Meets Death
While Driving in Larken Street
BODY HURLED IN AIR
Patrolman Who Saw Accident
Says (Car Was Going Too Fast
Charles Propfe, a member of the well known fiiem Borgfeldt, Propfe & Co, 106 East Street, while driving in a buggy was struck by a Sutter street car near Larken street shortly after 7 o'clock last night and instantly killed. His body was flung many feet in the air and landed 20 feet from the accident. Robert A. Gilbert, motorman was arrested by Patrol man Meagher, an eyewitness to the tragedy. Gilbert was charged with manslaughter.
According to the patrolman the car was travelling east at the rate of 30 miles an hour, when Propfe attemped to cross the tracks in Larken street. The motorman rang his bell and made a strenous effort to bring the car to a standstill, but the brakes failed to respond in time, and the heavy vehicle struck Propfe's rig in the middle.
The unfortunate liquor dealer's skull was fractured and his body mangled. Death was instantaneous. The horse was also killed and the buggy demolished. The car was crowded with passengers, who were jostled out of their seats by the impact. Great excitement prevailed, and several women screamed in terror and made desperate attempts to jump from the car.
Motorman Gilbert claimed that he was not running at an unusually high rate of speed, but that his brakes refused to work when he applied the air. He says that he rang the bell several times, but that Propfe seemed terror stricken and apparently did not attempt to urge his horse on.
The dead man was well known in commercial circles. He was 45 years old.
