Mourn Loss of Baby Boy

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jeffers, of Johnson township, mourn the death of their
little son, Walter Wayne. The child succumbed to an obstruction of the
bowels and an operation at a hospital in Sioux City failed to save the
child's life. Walter Wayne was born May 25, 1912, and died August 28, 1913.

The funeral was held on Sunday at the Crathorne church and interment made in
the cemetery there.

SUPPOSEDLY A HOLIDAY
Yesterday was Labor Day But Was Not Observed Here

Yesterday was Labor Day and supposed a holiday but few people in LeMars
noticed the occasion, except the post office employees and the saloon
keepers.  Only one delivery of mail was made in the city and the rural
carriers did not make their trips.  The post office was open to the public
from 12 to 1.  The saloons were closed and the proprietors and bartenders
went fishing.  What's the use of having legal holidays if people don't
celebrate them?

the opening of the dam.  Mr. Koenig said there were thirty thousand people

or drink.  Mr. and Mrs. Koenig visited at Burlington, where they meet W. T.
McGrew, formerly of this place, and also with relatives at DesMoines and
attended the state fair.

FELL AND BROKE HIP

Marcus News:  Mrs. Mary Ann Greff, mother of John Greff, a short time ago
while at the Frank Sand home, fell and broke her hip.  The seriousness of
the accident is made more so because she has been in poor health.  Mrs.
Greff is about 84 years old.

IS DROWNED IN WELL
TWENTY MONTHS OLD BOY MEETS A SAD FATE
A heart rendering accident happened at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Orban
residing in Johnson township on Saturday when their baby boy aged twenty
months fell into a well and was drowned. A new well had been dug recently
on the premises and was not properly safeguarded as it was not yet finished.

fellow toddled out into the yard and followed his father into the potato
patch where the latter was at work. Shortly afterwards the baby was missed
and a search was made for him. His toy wagon, standing near the well was
mute evidence of the tragedy as his body was found at the bottom of the well
in several feet of water. The boy's name was Nicholas and he was born on

children, a boy and a girl aged five and three years. The funeral was held

Our citizens are exceedingly anxious to know what has become of our sewer
proposition. It has now been over a year since the proposition was voted on
and carried by a big majority and it should have been completed and in
working order but it seems to be not much farther along than it was a year
ago. While it is doubtful whether it could be finished this season, those
having the matter in charge should proceed at once to get matters in shape
that work could be begun as soon as frost goes out in the spring and have it
completed without further delay. The sewer is a necessity and longer it is
delayed the more dangerous it is for the city.
