DELPHOS TRUCK DRIVER KILLED

Gilbert Schulte, Former Boxer, Victim In St. Mary’s Crash

ST. MARY’S, Dec. 13—Gilbert Schulte, 26, of Delphos, truck driver for the Nathan Liff Co., junk dealers, was killed instantly at 4 a. m. today when the truck he was driving skidded on State Route 66, north of here, and struck a tree.

Schulte, former professional boxer, was en route to St. Mary’s with a load of scrap iron when his truck left the icy, snow-covered road as the driver attempted to negotiate a curve. The iron was shoved forward by the impact of the truck against a tree, pinning Schulte in the cab. His chest was crushed and he received a broken right leg and severe body bruises.

Schulte was found dead by Joseph Burris, of St. Mary’s, employee of the state highway department, who was scraping the road early this morning with a snowplow.

Burris reported the truck was in a ditch and that a smouldering fire was burning in the motor and cab.

The body was removed to St. Mary’s and was to be taken to Delphos this afternoon.

Schulte was widely known in athletic circles of northwestern Ohio because of his numerous boxing engagements.
