Apparently struck by a hit and run driver about 9
o'clock last night on county trunk highway B, three miles north of Spruce,
Peter Mach, 67, was instantly killed.
His body was discovered by Wesley Rice, town
of Spruce, at the roadside. Mach, employed as a farmhand by John
Hyland, town of Spruce, had been in the Kadlec tavern prior to his death,
leaving the place at 8:45 o'clock. When found his body was badly
battered and he had a fractured skull. He was within 100 feet of
his home when struck. The body was taken to the Gagnon Funeral home
here, but no funeral arrangements have been made as yet. Authorities
were investigating the scene today in search of tire tracks or other clues.
It was thought a high powered car had struck him from the battered condition
of his body.
