Nickle Herbert 370101 p1
Joy Turned into Tragedy As Car Skids; From the heights of happiness to the depths of tragedy in a few minutes was the
experience of Miss Louise Klassen, former Patterson girl and sister of George Klassen, Sunday afternoon. A half hour
after her engagement to Herbert Nickle of Dinuba had been sealed by placing the engagement ring on her finger and they
were en route to a dinner party to celebrate their betrothal, their car skidded on a wet pavement and struck a power pole.
The blow dislodged a transformer which fell on Nickle, crushing his skull and he died two hours later.  Miss Klassen
incurred only minor injuries but is suffering severely from shock. The mishap would have been but a minor one except
for the falling of the transformer.
