    Wm. Shideler Killed in Automobile Crash
    Proprietor of North Topeka Fruit Market Dies Instantly; Son Suffers Fractured Spine

    William Shideler, a former Rossville and Silver Lake citizen, who has been operating a fruit market at 923 North Kansas avenue, Topeka, were injured when the Shideler DeSoto collided with a truck driven by H.S. Anderson, Route 6, at the Elmont spur junction on Highway No. 75, Wednesday night.

    Shideler's son, Earl, 13, sustained a fractured spine.

    Clyde Fox, 527 North Taylor, was seriously injured but the exact nature of his injuries had not been determined this morning.

    Edward Thompkins, 12, of 849 Carnahan, sustained a broken leg.

    Harry Thompkins, 912 North Harrison, was severely bruised and scratched.

    The injured were taken to Christ's hospital for treatment.

    Sheriff Dean Rogers who hurried to the scene of the crash, reported that Anderson approached the junction from the east. The Shideler party was traveling south on Highway No. 75, at about 45 miles an hour, the sheriff said.


    Mrs. A.A. Cless was called to Topeka Wednesday evening by the sudden death of her brother-in-law, Wm Shideler.

    Rogers quoted Anderson as saying that he slowed down to cross the highway and that no one was in sight as he pulled up on the pavement. The Shideler car came over the brow of a hill suddenly and collided with the front of Anderson’s truck. The De Soto rolled over and over, stopping about '90 feet from the point of the collision. Anderson’s truck was turned completely around and nosed into a ditch. Anderson was unhurt.

    Dr. H. L. Clark, county coroner, announced that an inquest probably would be held for the purpose of gathering more information concerning the accident.

    Mr. Shideler is survived by three sons, Clyde, Vernon and Earl of Topeka; two daughters, Miss Bertha Shideler of Halstead and Miss Clara Shideler of Topeka; and two brothers, George Shideler of Topeka and Raymond Shideler of Belleville.
