| Arizona State Miner (Wickenburg) Saturday, July 18, 1925, p 1 c 4 Charles E. Ranous, 55, of 1026 West Adams Street, met almost instantaneous death when an automobile was turned over by a blowout of a tire Sunday morning at 9 o'clock three miles north of Hot Springs Junction. Details of the accident were brought to Phoenix by Herman Kuhlwhilm, of 212 East Grant Street, who was driving the machine when the accident occurred. Ranous was riding in the front seat with Kuhlwhilm and between the two men was a small son of Morris Arons of this city. The child escaped uninjured which was near a miracle considering that Ranous was killed and Kuhlwhilm sustained a broken collarbone. Occupants of the rear seat were Mrs. Kuhlwhilm and Mr. and Mrs. Arons and one child. All were on their way to Wickenburg where they were to spend Sunday picnicking. Dr. J. A. Copeland of Wickenburg examined Ranous' body and declared his neck to be broken and several internal injuries. The body was taken to Wickenburg and was brought to Phoenix Monday. Mrs. Arons was the most seriously injured person of those riding in the back seat but her injuries are said to be not critically serious ones. The others in the rear seat received only bad bruises and were sorely shaken up. The Kuhlwhilms and Arons returned to Phoenix Sunday night by train from Wickenburg. Mr. Ranous had been a resident of the Salt River Valley for the last 15 years, and was a very well known character. He was engaged in the building and contracting business. Ranous is a single man and friends here declare they have no knowledge of any known relatives of the dead man. Ranous had been rooming with S P Staples for the past two years.
