OBITUARY:
CHINESE KILLED BY AUTO TRUCK
J. W. Hing Run Over by Heavy Vehicle and Dies Two Hours Later
J. H. Hing, a prominent Chinese resident, was struck by an automobile and received fatal injuries yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock on Court street, at the alley intersection near Roberts' grocery store. The wheels passed over his chest and he died of internal injuries about 7 o'clock last night at the Salem hospital.
He was 44 years old. A wife and seven children are left suddenly bereft. At one time Hing amassed considerable money with a hog farm near the state hospital. Later he invested in a hop ranch and lost heavily. He expected to leave soon to work in a fish cannery. He was hoping to have enough money to rent a farm.
Hing was one of the best known Chinese in the central Willamette valley and enjoyed the confidence of all of his acquaintances. No blame is attached for the accident. Bystanders said that as Hing started across the alley entrance the truck driver slowed up to allow him to pass. Instead he stepped back and the driver started ahead, when Hing stepped in front of the truck. The truck was diven by a man named Slocum who is in the employ of the Larmer Transfer company.
