OMAHAN KILLED NEAR NASHVILLE

Everett Bramwart of Omaha was instantly killed at about one a.m. Saturday morning when he was struck by a southbound Ford roadster driven by Waldo Wilson, also of Omaha

. Bramwart, a man 34 years of age, had, until recently, been in the employ of Paxton and Gallagher Co. of Omaha as a truck driver, and was visiting a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Petersen at Nashville. At the time of the accident he was walking north down the highway from the Nashville store going to the Petersen home.

Due to the exceedingly heavy fog which was prevalent that night, Wilson was unable to see the man until he was upon him, and his car struck a glancing blow, injuring the man about the head causing almost instant death.

Apparently Bramwart, although he was walking towards the car, did not see the approaching vehicle. Wilson, who is well known to a number of Blair people, was returning from Blair at the time of the accident.
