Fred Reinke Killed.
New Albin Globe:—While the Reinke boys of Union City township were hauling hay on Monday the slippery condition of the road caused their sleds to overturn and Fred Reinke was killed. Each one of the brothers had charge of a team loaded with hay obtained near New Albin. Driving home about 5:30 in the evening, an unusually slippery place in the road near Chancey May’s place was encountered, when both loads tipped over. Fred Reinke, aged 19 years, was buried under his load and, when his brother found him life was extinct, his neck being broken.
