Ben Aulweis Killed
In Austin Accident

Several of the rural correspondents of the Press-News tell briefly of the tragic death of Ben Aulweis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Aulweis, who formerly lived four miles west of Riceville.

The family moved to LeRoy, then to Austin, Minnesota.

Ben, a young man, was employed at the Austin packing plant, fell into one of the huge grinding machines. It took a half hour for his fellow workman to extricate him, it is said, and he died shortly afterward.

He is surived by his wife and baby.
