Being Peacemaker
Is Fatal in Chicago
Chicago, Mar. 3.—(A)—Arthur Dolan was killed for being a peacemaker. He was standing at the curb when two automobiles crashed yesterday, and he observed the quarrel that ensued between the two drivers, both negroes. He sought to settle things by giving his eye-witness version to the disputants.
"You were wrong," he said to one driver, conciliatingly.
An automobile jack handle crashed down on his head, and the negro who swung it fled. Dolan never regained consciousness.
