GIRLS IN AUTO WRECK
CAR TURNS OVER AND OVER IN THE ROAD
TWO ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED
Party Were on Road from Remsen to LeMars When Driver Looked Back and Lost
Control of the Machine Which Was Overturned.
A party of four young women on their way from Remsen to LeMars on Thursday
evening in an automobile had a serious accident in which two were badly hurt
and all had a miraculous escape from losing their lives or being fatally
injured.
The car was being driven by Miss Rose Millenkamp, of Remsen township, and in
the car with her were her sister, Frances, Miss Josephine Klosterman and
Miss Marie David.
At a point about two miles west of Remsen, the driver thinking she heard
something coming from behind, looked around and lost control of the machine,
wobbling along for about sixty yards and the machine overturned. Both of
the right hand side wheels of the car were broken off and the car turned
over twice and landed right side up, facing the way from which it had come.
The occupants of the car were spilled in all directions. Miss Klosterman
was hurt internally. Miss Marie David had her nose broken and suffered
other injuries and Miss Frances Millenkamp had an arm broken.
Neighbors living near came to the rescue and the injured girls were taken to
the home of Peter Bauler, near whose place the accident happened, and
medical aid summoned.
The injuries received by Miss Klosterman were at first regarded as slight
but since it has developed that she is seriously hurt.
AUTO COLLIDES WITH BUGGY
Woman and Children Thrown Out But Escape Injury
An automobile driven by Mrs. J. Larsen, manager of the City Hospital,
collided with a buggy in which were Mrs. John Klohs and two children, living
east of town, about half past five on Sunday afternoon. The accident
occurred at the corner of Main and Seventh street. The fender of the
automobile struck the rear end of the buggy, the automobile driver
apparently losing control of the machine in rounding a curve. The horses
attached to the buggy dashed along the sidewalk on Seventh street and at the
alley west of the Sentinel office the rig to which they were attached struck
a telephone pole, breaking off a wheel and whiffle tree and upsetting the
vehicle. Mrs. Klohs and the children were thrown into the alley, narrowly
escaping striking the building. Fortunately they were not hurt. The team
ran around onto Court street where they were stopped. The automobile in the
efforts of the driver to get out of the way, collided with a telephone pole
at the corner of the city hose house on the opposite side of the street.
DEATH OF MRS. HELGENS
Well Known Resident Succumbs to a Brief Illness
On Monday afternoon at five o’clock occurred the sad death of Mrs. Fred
Helgens at her home about two miles northwest of Craig. Her death came
suddenly as a result of four days of illness and is a blow to the family
which time alone can alleviate. She has been in poor health for several
years, however, and during that time has submitted to several operations for
gall stones.
Mrs. Helgens was born April 17, 1859 and died April 27, 1914, being fifty
five years and ten days old at the time of her death. She leaves besides her
husband, a family of five children and also five brothers and two sisters.
The children are Mrs. Henry Schultz, of Merrill, and Reno, Marie, John and
Mike, all at home. The youngest of her children is about thirteen years old.
Her brothers and sisters all live in this vicinity and are: Richard Johnson
Le Mars; Mike Johnson
of Ireton; and J. H. Johnson, E. J. Johnson and C. G. Johnson of the Craig
vicinity. Her sisters are Mrs. Onno Croon, of Craig, and Mrs. Fred Eilers,
of Le Mars.
The funeral services were conducted at the Craig church on Thursday by Rev.
J. Vollmar, of Craig, and Rev. J. J. Vollmar, of Le Mars.

INJURIES PROVE FATAL
YOUNG GIRL VICTIM OF AN AUTOMOBILE WRECK
HEAD AND CHEST INJURED
Miss Josephine Klostermann Died on Tuesday From Hurts Sustained When Car in
Which Four Girls Were Riding Was Overturned.
Miss Josephine Klostermann, who with two other young women was injured in an
automobile accident last week when an automobile in which they were riding
from Remsen to LeMars turned turtle, died on Tuesday morning from the
effects of her injuries.
Miss Klostermann was injured about the head and chest. When thrown from the
car she was rendered unconscious and with a brief lapse or two remained in
that condition until death relieved her sufferings. In the car with her were
Miss Rose Millenkamp, who was driving, Miss Frances Millenkamp and Miss
Marie David. The two latter suffered injuries, one a broken arm and Miss
David a broken nose. Miss David suffered greatly after the accident and it
was feared she too was internally injured but yesterday she and Miss
Millenkamp were reported as recovering favorably. The car was ditched and
two wheels broken off when the driver lost control at a point in the road
two miles west of Remsen.
The death of Miss Klostermann has cast a gloom over the community in which
she lived as she was one of the most popular young women in Remsen.
Josephine Klostermann was born at Petersburg, Iowa, on September 8, 1897.
In the following spring her parents moved to Remsen and lived on a farm in
that vicinity for thirteen years, moving to Remsen three years ago. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Klostermann, being the youngest in a
family of twelve children, five of whom preceded her in death. She and her
brother, Andrew, were the only two left in the parent nest. Her brothers
and sisters, who with the parents mourn her death are: Mrs. Louisa Kneipp,
Remsen; F. H. Klostermann, Marshall, Minn.; [several more lines of type are
just too dark to read, the lines appear to listing the names of the
deceased’s brothers and sisters]

HIS FIRST RIDE ON MACHINE
Young Rider Was Trying Out His New Purchase and While Speeding Around a Sharp Curve Dashed Off Culvert Into a Tree.
William Woldt, a youth twenty-one years old, of Hinton, received fatal injuries on Thursday nine miles east of Hinton, while learning to ride an Indian motorcycle which he had just purchased. It was his first essay on the machine and while going at a fast rate of speed in turning a corner near the United Brethren church, he ran off a culvert and crashed into a tree. He was found unconscious and was picked up and hurried to a hospital in Sioux City where an examination showed that his skull had been fractured. He died in the evening without regaining consciousness.
Young Woldt bought the motorcycle the day previous and a short time after it had been delivered started to take his initial ride. According to those who saw him after he had started, the machine was going at a pretty fast pace. Where the accident took place there is a sharp turn in the road and young Woldt apparently lost control of his machine.
Will Woldt made his home with his brother-in-law, Hugh Huecke, near Hinton. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Bertha Huecke, and Miss Anna Woldt, of near Hinton, and Miss Mamie Woldt, of Pipestone, Minn. He was a nephew of Albert Woldt and Mrs. Jahns, also residing in that vicinity.

ANOTHER DISASTEROUS FIRE
Entire Business Block Burns Loss $35,000.00
About 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning fire was discovered in the rear of
the Bogenreif hardware store and two hours later the whole business
block and the residence of Mrs. B. F. Bogenreif were in ruins entailing
a loss of $35,000.00. The fire broke out in the rear of Bogenreif's
hardware store and spread rapidly to the Tronsrue drug store. All of the
buildings were of frame construction. A high wind fanned the flames,
which communicated to adjoining buildings and the block soon was burned
to the ground. The origin of the fire is unknown. A general alarm was
sounded and the people of the town and surrounding country turned out in
masse and were soon organized into bucket brigades, which prevented the
spread of the fire and eventually terminated its progress. A light
shower materially assisted the fire fighters. All of the buildings
burned were owned by the Bogenreif estate, excepting the Bank of Hinton
and the Levins barbershop. Below we give the loss and insurance carried:
Bogenreif estate loss $17,000.00 insurance $11,000.00, Bank of Hinton
loss $2,500.00 insurance $1,500.00. P. S. Tronsrue loss $4,000.00
insurance $2,680.00 J. H. Levins loss $1,500.00 insurance $950.00.
Levins barbershop was saved. The Hinton Hotel, E. M. Winter residence,
the building owned by W. G. Pearson and occupied by Dr. Robbins office
and Mrs. Crouch's restaurant were in danger of burning at different
times and were saved by the bucket brigade. The contents of Mrs.
Bogenreif's residence, Dr. Robbin's office, Mrs. Crouch's restaurant and
the Hinton Hotel were all carried out and were badly damaged by breakage
and the rain. It is rumored that a company will be organized to rebuild
the entire block, using the second story for a public hall, but nothing
definite is known at this time. Mr. O. C. Brown president of the Bank of
Hinton authorizes us to state that they will rebuild at once replacing
the burned structure with a modern fireproof building.
