Man About 65 Killed by Auto

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Nov. 10. (AP)?A man walking across the highway at State Line Village was struck and killed by a car last night. He carried no identification.

The man, apparently a transient, was about 65 years old. Sheriff John Rasor said this morning that officers still don't know who he was. His office and state police are investigating.

He said the man may have been hit by two cars. He said Judith Ann Baker, 18, Spokane bookkeeper, was the driver of one car that passed over his body but that there were indications the man had been struck and knocked down seconds before by another.

Sisters Identify Father as Victim of Automobile

Two Spokane Valley women yesterday identified a man struck and killed by a car November 9 near the Washington-Idaho line as their father, Alfred B. Hausken, 66, W1304 Water, a retired body and fender man.

The daughters, Mrs. Lewis G. Fristo, N4407 McDonald, and Mrs. William Emmerson, Dishman, said they identified their father from pictures of his face and hands taken before he was buried November 24 in Coeur d'Alene.

"He wore a ring with skull and crossbones," Mrs. Emmerson said. "We're sure of the identification."

Mr. Hausken and the late Mrs. Hausken, who died about 12 years ago, moved to Spokane from Minnesota in 1919, Mrs. Fristo said.

Both daughters said, "Daddy stayed by himself a lot and sometimes we didn't see him for three or six months."

Mrs. Emmerson said her father had been at her home a couple of days at the beginning of last month.

"He left my home November 3," she said. "It's strange, though, when I saw the story in the Chronicle Monday, November 10, about a man about Father's age being killed, I was uneasy.

"My husband told me not to worry, and I tried not to, but I kept the clipping of the story.

"Actually there was no reason to presume it was my father, except he sometimes did take the bus and go to the state line."

Mrs. Emmerson said when she learned Sunday the kind of ring the man wore she became very uneasy and sent her husband to see if her father was all right.

"A neighbor said he hadn't been there for two weeks," Mrs. Emmerson said.

She said when she learned that, she got in touch with Sheriff John Rasor of Coeur d'Alene and she and her sister went there and identified their father's pictures.

Besides his daughters, Mr. Hausken is survived by two grandsons, two granddaughters and a great-granddaughter, all of Spokane, and a sister in Yakima.

Mrs. Emmerson said she and her sister would return to Coeur d'Alene today and visit their father's grave. She added they did not plan to move the body here.

Died:
James Walker was born in Ontario, Canada, June 16, 1844, and died at Alexandria, Minn., February 3, 1910.
Mr. Walker's early years were spent in Canada, where he learned the blacksmith trade in his father's shop. He worked at this trade and in the pineries until he was about twenty-two years of age, when he came west, arriving in Douglas county early in the summer of 1866. Soon after coming to Alexandria Mr. Walker filed on a homestead in section 35, Alexandria township. On August 4, 1869, Mr. Walker was married to Miss Margaret Smith. In the early seventies Mr. Walter moved to Alexandria and for a time operated his brother, robert Walker's blacksmith shop. About 1875 he opened a confectionery store in a small building on the site now occupied by the Sheldon Clothing house. In 1877 Mr. Walker, in company with James Purdon, opened a general store in the fram building afterwards known as "Ward's Store." The partnership was soon after dissolved and Mr. Walker continued at the old stand, conducting the first exclusive grocery store in this city. In May, 1880, N. P. Ward became a partner and the business was continued under the firm name of Walker & Ward, when Mr. Walker retired from the firm.
In March, 1905, Mrs. Walker died, leaving her husband with seven grown children.
In 1897 Mr. Walker erected a building on the east side of Main street, which he occupied as a business house until about a year ago when he closed our and leased the building. Since that time Mr. Walker has been out of business.
On April 17, 1907 Mr. Walker was married the second time to Miss Lloyda Pottsmith, who with one small child survives him. Seven children by the first marriage survive Mr. Walker. They are Daniel G. Walker, St. Paul; Mrs. Mary Millard, Minneapolis; James Walker, Alexandria; Sarah Walker, Lakota, N.D.; Minnie Walker, Cando, N.D.; Harvey Walker, Alexandria; Maggie Walker, Alexandria; and Ms. M. Gerberich, Alexandria.
The funeral occurred Saturday and was under the auspices of the local Odd Fellows lodge.

S. Campbell, Frank Kent, L. S. Kaiser, C. F. Canfield and John Abercrombie. The interment was at Kinkead cemetery.
