Garrett Van Ginkel was killed last night by one of the cars of the Dallas electric railroad system, which he sold about a week ago to parties in Cleveland, Ohio. The fatal accident followed a delightful evening spent with his family and friends at Exall's Lake. The car which was to bear the merry party home brought instead the mangled form of Mr. Van Ginkel, the horrified and grief-stricken wife and children and friends.

Mr. Van Ginkel returned to the city yesterday morning from Waco, where he had been on a business mission. Last evening he went to Exall's Lake, a resort about three miles north of Dallas, with Mrs. Van Ginkel, their children, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Maas, Miss Annie Maas, Mrs. Will Maas, all of Dallas, and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph of New Orleans. The party left the Windsor hotel at 6 o'clock equipped for a picnic. They expected to return to the city on a car due to leave the lake at 10:30 o'clock, but the car did not show up on time and Mr. Van Ginkel, after waiting for some time, walked down the track to a curve, about 200 yards distant from the lake, to see if the delayed car was coming, expecting to stop it and ride back to the lake. It is supposed that he went to sleep on the track, for he was lying between the rails when the car, which came along about 11:15 o'clock, struck him. It tore a great hole in his side, exposing the entrails.--The Dallas News, June 20.
