Startled Man Falls Out of Auto; Killed
Sioux city, Ia., Oct. 1 (U.P.)
Two sons and their father today were en route to their home in Cabool, Mo., from the northwest harvest fields, but grief replaced joy from Sioux City to the Missouri town.
The father John Brewer, 54 years old, died of concussion of the brain after falling out of his automobile here.
Brewer and his sons, Fred and Frank, discovered just as they were entering Sioux City, that the car had caught fire. When Fred loosened a floor board and the flame shot upward, the elder Brewer became startled and fell backward out of the rear seat alighting on his head on the pavement.
