As Car Overturn In Race With Boys Riding Horseback
---
Carl Jutland, 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Jutland, farmers residing near Peterson in Fillmore county, was instantly killed late yesterday when the automobile he was driving overturned on the road near his home. His neck was broken and he was dead when witnesses reached him.
Jutland was returning from a bathing party in a creek about a mile from the home. He was accompanied by Obert Boyun [sic], 12 year old neighbor boy, was escaped unhurt.
Others, in the bathing party were riding horseback, and according to the story told by the boys and members of a threshing crew who were nearby and saw the car turn over, Jutland was racing with the boys on horseback.
He was somewhat in the lead when he looked back, evidently to note his advantage in the race, they said. As he did so the car, which was a Ford touring model, swerved into the small ditch at the side of the road. As he was trying to right it, the wheels caught on the bank of the ditch, and the speed with which the car was traveling caused it to turn turtle three times, witnesses said they believed.
The road is flat and level at this point.
Jutland was an only son. Surviving, besides his parents, are two sisters, who are visiting at the present time in North Dakota. The Jutlands live three miles north of Peteson.
Funeral arrnangements had not been completed at noon today.
