AGED KINGSLEY WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Ellen C. Dean Succumbs in Her Home Friday

Kingsley, Ia., July 2 - (Special)-Ellen C. Dean died at her home here
Sunday, June 26, at 3:30. Ellen C. Landon was born in Connecticut in 1846
and came to Iowa with her parents in 1867. They located on a farm in
Woodbury county, northwest of Correctionville, where the parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Landon died. While living on this farm the notorious James
Brothers stayed one night with them on one of their raiding trips through
Iowa. Mr. Landon's folks did not know who they were until they had gone, as
they did not harm while at their place.

Mrs. Ellen C. Dean is survived by her husband, Lorenzo Dean, and three
daughters, Mrs. Ollie Navin, of Kingsley; Mrs. William Tallman, of
DesMoines; Mrs. Kenneth Hicks, of Tulsa, Okla. Funeral services will be

A late bulletin of the postal department calls attention to a regulation
long in force and demands its strict observance. Rural carriers are not
permitted to carry any persons, even members of their own families in their
vehicles when on duty. Through long acquaintance with patrons, some rural
carriers have at times invited them to ride. Further violation of the order
will subject rural carriers to such penalties as the department may
prescribe. Personally the carriers are "good fellows" and take pleasure in
proving friendship. The government is concerned only with cold business.
The rule applies even to government employees outside the mail service. The
president would not be permitted to ride with a rural carrier.

Another bulletin instructs carriers who operate automobiles to carry at all
times an extra tire, inflated and ready for use.

Among the Californians who came to Iowa for their summer vacation Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Eastman and Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Kistle, of Pasadena, Cal.
Pasadena is about 100 miles from Santa Barbara, which was wrecked by an
earthquake, but they intend to go back just the same, dreading the
California earthquake less than the gentle tornadoes of the middle west.

DEATHS

Mrs. Anna Wetrosky, one of the oldest Plymouth county citizens, both in
point of age and years of residence here, died on the farm which was her
home for 51 years, east of Hinton, on Monday evening. Death was brought on
by the infirmities of old age, as Mrs. Wetrsoky was 86 years old. The
funeral was held this afternoon and services held at the Lutheran church of
Lincoln township, Rev. R. J. Torgler officiating.

Deceased was a widow and had no brothers or sisters living. The surviving
children are: Mrs. Mary Mathwig, of Sioux City, Mrs. Anna Ahiff...[the copy

DIVORCES THRIVE AS MERCURY RISES
BONDS OF MATRIMONY ARE MELTING
BUT CUPID SCORES THREE NEW ONES TO MAKE UP FOR HIS LOSSES

The torrid weather of the last few days is evidently hard on the bonds of
matrimony, and no doubt causes considerable galling at the yoke, judging
from the evidence of the courts. Daily newspapers record an increase in the
number of divorce causes filed, and the same condition holds good here.

John J. Wassenaar has filed suit for divorce against his wife, Martha
Wassenaar, asking the custody of two children, Mabel Catheleene and John
Stanley. The plaintiff alleges that his helpmeet is cruel inhuman and
inclined to nag him. He also alleges that she was unfaithful to him.

The woman sued in the case of Mabel Puglesa vs John Puglesa, who lived in
Westfield. They were married in Sioux Falls on March 22, 1917, and now have
one daughter, Ruth, who is 7 years old. Plaintiff states that her husband
deserted her in November, 1921, and asks custody of the child.

Shades of the past were invoked when Harry Rembe filed suit yesterday
against Kate Rembe, whom he married in 1890. He declares that in 1893, she
deserted him. This was 32 years ago, and coming to the conclusion that his
wife does not intend to come back, plaintiff has field suit.

On the other hand, Cupid got in some telling blows, for the following six
persons obtained licenses to be made into three:

L. W. Geister, legal...Sioux City
Linda M. Waring, legal...Sioux City

Matthew Gath, 29...Luverne, Minn.
Myrtle Painter, 19...Luverne, Minn.

Donald A. Stratton, 21...Washta, Ia
Rebecca Bouvia, 19...Kingsley.

OWNERS ABSENT THEIVES PROWL

Six physicians were summoned, but were unable to save Keene’s life. A pulmotor was applied without success.  After working for three hours, the doctors gave up the fight.  A weak heart was responsible for Keene not being able to withstand the shock, the physicians said.

The Delco Light Company in Sioux City, was notified of the accident, and Frank Kutil, an employee, drove Mrs. Keene and Mrs. Edna Stoble, a sister of the deceased to Varina, a distance of 100 miles, in two hours, in a futile attempt to get them to Keene’s bedside before death came.

before Justice J. G. Koenig and waived his right to a hearing, so he was
bound to the grand jury, which is scheduled to meet this fall.

His bond was fixed at $5,000. Gruenfeldt made attempts to get bond, but up
to this time has been unsuccessful. He is employed as a truck driver by a
Remsen garage, but has wealthy relatives, who refused to intervene in his
behalf, however.

Gruenfeldt is said to have courted the girl for about eight months. She is
in a delicate condition, according to the complaint made in her behalf.

BOOTLEGGER HAS RATHER GOOD IDEA
Keeps Booze in Aluminum Canteen That Can't Break and Does Not Gurgle

One of the bootleggers who supply this city made a delivery to a private
customer this afternoon. He did not know he was observed, so he gave away
his method, which is rather good.

He keeps the wet goods in aluminum canteens similar to the ones used in the
army. Taking a canteen from some place in his car, he very casually slips
it under his coat and walks into the place where the thirsty customer waits.
A little while later he comes out without the canteen. Then he drives away.
Very simple.

J. D. SIEBELS DIES WHILE ON VACATION
Believed Death Was Cause By Heat-In Perfect Health When Left

A telegram was received in LeMars last night about four o'clock, of the
death of J.D. Siebels, in Rapid City, South Dakota. Mr. Siebels left
LeMars July 7, to spend a vacation in the Black Hills. On his way back home
he was taken sick at Rapid City and passed away there on Wednesday
afternoon. Death was believed to have been caused by the heat.

Mr. Siebels has been employed at the Johnson Motor Co. since the first of the
year. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife and two children; Henry Siebels
and Mrs. Katie Wilde, of Plymouth County. No funeral arrangements have been
made.

KLUXERS HAVE MEETING

The Ku Klux Klan meeting held across the road from the tourist park
Wednesday evening was carried out according to schedule. Several LeMars
people attended, and quite a large delegation was here from Sioux City, the
idea being to make a showing. A cross was burned, which symbolize the
distraction of various things to which the plan is opposed. The speaker was
very wild. He made many predictions. He waved the flag. He pointed with
pride. He mentioned with shame. He referred to the rock ribbed coast of
Maine and the sun kissed shores of California. His talk was not all
applesauce. There were some truths in his discourse which might well be
heeded, and which will some day be recognized in the United States, but not
through the medium of a comic opera pillow slip parade. The amount of money
collected is not known, but it is believed the KKK organizer at least made
expenses.

There were hundreds of curious spectators, but the money obtained from this
source was not a night negligible matter.

CHILD SWALLOWS A SAFTETY PIN; SAVED
Ten-Month-Old Baby of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Beck Subject of Unusual Operation

The 10-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Beck of Remsen was the subject
of an unusual and difficult operation performed by Dr. M. J. Joynt at the
Sacred Heart Hospital Tuesday noon. The baby is out of immediate danger
today, and the chances for its recovery are good.

The child had swallowed a medallion secured to its dress with a safety pin,
in some way tearing the pan blues without opening it. The objects went
down, part way and lodged, the tissue is soon swelling so as to firmly hold
them and permitting no movement either up or down. They were too tightly
lied to do to the square shape of the medallion, to be moved by the use of
thelaryngscope, so recourse was had to be x-ray belonging to the clinic,
which is located in a lead lined basement room of the hospital. Here, by
aid of the blue-green shadows on a flora scope, the long slender exploring
forceps could be seen trying to get hold of the safety pin and its attached
medallion. A good purchase was impossible, however, and it was necessary,
by dilating the swollen walls a little, to induce the pan and its attendant
to continue on its way to the stomach, from where, in most cases, it will be
naturally eliminated.

Mr. and Mrs. Beck remained beside the table throughout the entire operation,
and a number of physicians and surgeons were bear to watch as an operation
of this kind is unusual, except in the bigger cities. The baby was under
ether during the process.

HITS MAN OVER THE HEAD WITH GAS PIPE
Nick Kass, of Remsen, is Fined $25 and Costs in Justice W.S. Freeman's Court

A small argument Tuesday morning, between Henry Falke and Nick Kass, both of
Remsen, resulted in Mr. Kass being fined $25 and costs in Justice W. S.
Freeman's court Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Kass is a prominent and successful
businessman of Remsen and Mr. Falke is proprietor of the Falke garage.

E. J. Till, R. H. Bailey, S.Willenberg and Henry Falke testified for the
state, while C. Schumaker and Nick Kass, were the only witnesses for the
defense. Albert Kass of Sioux City, a relative of Mr. Kass, took the side
of the defense, while county attorney Sturges acted for the state.

Out of the testimony given it appears that Mr. Falke had an automobile in
the alley, close to his building. The car was not in running order in which
jacked up on four barrels waiting for repairs. About 815 in the morning,
Mr. Falke and C.Schumaker, another businessman, mixed in a little argument
over the car being in the alley. And when the argument cool down, Nick Kass
happened along and took up Schumaker's part. " I'm going to get my car out
of the garage, and want to go down this alley," said Cass to Falke, "and the
alley is blocked." Mr. Falke answered, "you're a d__m liar." "Your alley is
always blocked, Falke," said Mr. Kass. Again, he was called a d__m liar,
and Mr. Kass steped behind a car and hauled out a piece of gas pipe. About
4 inches in diameter and a foot long and started after Falke. According to
witnesses of the state, Mr. Falke backed up, and the man with the gas pipe
came after him. "It appeared that he was going to throw the pipe," said one
witness. The pipe was presented in court. In the struggle Mr. Falke
received a bad cut on the head from the pipe. The one witness for the
defense testified similar to the states witnesses that said, "I believe Mr.
Falke was mad and had his fists clenched." This statement was the only one
that did not agree with the state's testimony. Mr. Kass said that he hit
his opponent in self-defense; that if he did not hit him, he would have
received the worst of it.

LIGHTNING SMASHES UP A REMSEN HOME

Washta, Ia. July 20 -- Uninjured after his car shot through the railing of a
bridge and carried him 14 feet to the ground below, a tourist who told
officers his name was Jackson. And that his home was at Audubon, Iowa,
became abusive to "Good Samaritans" who went to his rescue, and was
arrested, tried in Judge Bradley's court at LeMars, and sent to jail for 90
days. Officers declared that Jackson was intoxicated.

The accident occurred at the Little Sioux River near here. The car was
smashed and in its fall broke off a tree of some size.

RECKLESS DRIVERS ALMOST KILL SELVES
"He Wasn't In a Condition to Drive the Car, so I Took His Place," Said
Partner

Deputy Sheriff Sam Lange happened along at the critical moment near Merrill
Saturday, and put the end to two reckless drivers, who were all over the
road in their driving. They finally had to stop, as their car ran into a
bridge on the road southwest of Merrill. The top was torn on the car,
fender ripped off and axel broken.

When Mr. Lang asked who was driving the car in who the owner was one fellow
said, "He's the owner, but is not in a condition to drive the car, so I am
taking his place." There was a question of his own ability to handle the
car, let alone his partner.

One of the men was a Cherokee resident and previously upset, tearing the top
off. He said he was on his way to LeMars to have the top repaired. The
other man lived in Sioux City and is employed at an auto top establishment.
The two figured that they could get a better price on a top in LeMars.

The wrecked car was pulled into Merrill and the two men will report to
Justice W.S.Freeman. Tomorrow morning for the trial. They are held for
intoxication.

ADAVILLE GARAGE SCENE OF SHOOTING
Robbed For Sixth Time In Two Years
Maxwell and Deputy Lang Called At 4 O'Clock This Morning

The J. H Nason garage, near Adaville, Iowa, on the Ridge Road, was robbed
early this morning for the sixth time in two years. About 3:30 this
morning, Mr. Nason was awakened by the burglar alarm he had installed in his
home. Being robbed five times was too much for Mr. Nason, so the alarm was
put in his home, which is about 100 yards from the garage, and brains when
anyone tampers with the door.

Hearing this alarm, he and his son dressed and got in their car to drive to
the garage. The road from his home to the garage is "V" shaped, having to
make a turn. When they arrived at the garage they saw a new Ford Coupe
standing out in front, with a man inside. They rushed around the side of
the building and listened. They heard some disturbance inside, and if you
moments later saw a man sneaking around the side of the building. Mr. Nason
called for him to stop, throwing a gun on him. The visitor threw up his
hands and begged that Mr. Nason would not shoot. As the man near Mr. Nason
he lowered his hands and as quick as a flash, grabbed the gun. They
tousled, and in the fight the gun went off. The offender broke loose from
Mr. Nason and ran around the corner. In the excitement Mr. Nason fired a
shot at the robber, which hit the big plate glass window in his building and
broke it to pieces. The man in the coup dived over the fence, near the
garage, and disappeared.

Mr. Nason called Sheriff Maxwell at four o'clock, and at 5:30 a.m. Maxwell
and Deputy Sam Lang appeared at the scene of the shooting. There were six
men waiting for the officers in front of the garage. The alarm was spread
around the country and Maxwell and landing went to Westfield to notify the
officers over the air to watch the bridges leading into South Dakota. The
sheriff and his deputy went down the river road to Akron, to warn the people
and when they got to the Nason Bridge they met three boys coming from Sioux
City. They told the officers that they saw a man sneaking over the hills,
that answered to the description of the robber debt tousled with Mr. Nason.
It is about 6 miles to Sioux City from where they saw this man.

Sheriff Maxwell notified the Sioux City police to prevent the two robbers
from entering Sioux City. A motorcycle policeman said that he saw a man
sneaking through the trees on the edge of Sioux City, and perhaps waited
until darkness, so he could slip into the city.

Mr. Nason said that he would know the man who tousled with him. The two
offenders left the Ford Coupe in front of the garage. It is an Omaha car.
Deputy Sam Lang called the Omaha Police Department about the car, and it
was found that the car was stolen from a rent a Ford company.

The land in this part of the country is very hilly and an escape would be
almost certain. Apparently both of the robbers are hiding in some
underbrush waiting until it was dark, so they can move on to Sioux City.

All towns and cities around here have been notified and a close watch is
being kept for them. The man who stayed in the Ford Coupe is the one
believed to have rented the car.

IS REAL PIONEER
John Beely Landed in Plymouth County in 1867

John Beely celebrated the fifty-eight anniversary of his arrival in Plymouth
county Sunday. Mr. Beely says he is one of five adults living in the county
at that time who still survive, and that about all there was to this county
at that time was the settlement at Melbourne, made up of the Schneider,
Brehm, Held, Winter and Emmert families. The census figures for 1865 gave
this county a population of 105, the larger part of them being residents of
the Melbourne community.

Mr. Beely came by boat from St. Louis to Sioux City, then a town of about
1000 population, and walked out to the Brehm farm July 20, 1867. Mr. Beely
has resided in this county continually ever since and has seen it develop
into a rich community of about 25,000 people, with several towns in it as
large as Sioux City was the day he landed there.

handicapped by rheumatic troubles which force him to use crutches for the

Girl Not Ready To Be Wife
Young Man Tries Suicide When Lover Rejects Him

Cherokee, Iowa, July 22--Because his sweetheart refused to marry him, Harry
Wenchell, 21 years old, a farm hand, who lives near Ida Grove, takes his life
by sending a bullet through his abdomen, and is lying in a critical
condition at the Bates hospital at Aurelia.

The attempted suicide or occurred shortly afternoon Friday after Wenchell
had gone to the home of his 16 year old sweetheart, Miss Ina Ramer, who
resides 4 miles west of Aurelia, and she had refused his demand to marry
him.

"I will shoot you," Wenchell declared when his proposal was spurned. He then
commanded the young woman to accompany him out of the house. She refused,
and he picked up a picture of Miss Ramer and dashed out the door. Miss
Ramer later heard a shot and went outside to find her lover lying on the
ground in a pool of blood, a smoking revolver in his hand.

The wounded man was rushed to the Bates hospital, where Dr. Bates declared
that his chance for recovery is slight.

Wenchell and Miss Ramer have been keeping company for some months, and
their engagement was announced this summer. Miss Ramer has been residing
with her brothers for the past three years on a farm near Aurelia, where the

arrears of rent.

Car Rolls Into A 12-Foot Grade
Two Carnival Men Have Narrow Escape From Death Near Remsen--One Badly Cut

While several Le Mars young men were on their way to Remsen Monday night, a
car was in front of them, traveling without lights. The boys kept their
car close enough to the one ahead, so their lights would help the man ahead
to drive. Turning on the first road leading north into Remsen, the car
in the lead speeded up and ran off the 12 foot grade, near a bridge. As the
LeMars boys drew closer they saw a man staggering out of the ditch, covered
with blood. He dropped in the road in front of them. The boys thought at
first that it was a frame up to rob them, but decided to stop.

Art Murtha, who was driving the car from LeMars together with the boys with
him, got out of their car and went to the man who was lying in the road.
All he could say was, "In the ditch, get him out." The boys went down into
the embankment and searched around the car. A man was pinned underneath
and said, "I'm all right--haven't got a scratch."

The man he was lying in the road received a bad cut in the arm and his back
was cut up badly. He was taken to a doctor in Remsen, where he had his
wounds dressed. One of the young men asked the man who was pinned and
underneath the car, if he knew who the injured man was. He said no, and
refused to give his own name. He did state that they were traveling with a
carnival or stock company that was in Remsen, and said that they hired the
car from a garage over there. From last reports the injured man is
improving slowly.

Della B. Swegler Asked For Divorce
Says Husband Threatened To Kill Her--Wants Custody Of Two Children

Mrs. Della Blanche Swegler has filed suit against her husband, Romane
Swegler, charging him with cruel and inhuman treatment.

She states that they have lived in Plymouth County ever since they were
married, which was on December 4, 1917, at Omaha, Nebraska. They lived
together until July 18, 1925. The plaintiff says that she was a dutiful
wife at all times. Mr. and Mrs. Swegler have two children, Allen and
Clarabell, six and three years of age.

She gives as her grounds for divorce that he was constantly beating,
striking and choking her and that she has received this kind of abuse from
the time of their marriage until the separation. The petition also states
that Swegler threatened to kill her with a knife and chased her from the
home into the street. On July 18, he choked and struck her until she had to
flee for her life--called her vile names, accused her of infidelity and
intimacy with other men.

Mrs. Swegler says that she has been in poor health for a number of years,
and the abuse has weakened her and endangered her life. She has no means of
support and said that her husband gets a salary of $135 a month, with free
gas and free fuel in the winter. Her ill health prevents her from working,
but wants custody of the two children with support from her husband, and a
reasonably temporary alimony. She also asked for attorney fees.

She wants her husband to be restrained from the home because he molests the
family, and wants an attachment against the property and his wages.

Dakota.

The groom is a prominent businessman of LeMars having an interest in the
Brodie meat market and Miss Richey is well known, having many friends. She

BRIDGE MEN FAILED TO SIGNAL TRAIN
ENGINEER IS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Engineer, Brakeman, And Firemen Jump When Engine Leaves Tracks

Frenchie Keller, of St. James, Minnesota, engineer on the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad, received a sprained leg when he jumped from
the cab of his engine when it left the rails at the second railroad bridge,
a mile north of the city, early this morning. Emil Malmgrem, firemen, and
brakeman jumped at the same time, but were fortunate in not being injured.

The accident happened when some bridge workmen failed to signal the
engineer, when they had a rail off the bridge. The train was running
special and had no set time for arrival in LeMars.

The workmen on the bridge did not see the train coming, as the track makes a
curve about three blocks from the bridge. Coming at a good rate of speed,
the freight train rounded a curve when the engineer saw the men at work on the
bridge. He did not think a rail would be off the bridge, at least he saw no
signal to stop. The workmen discovered the train coming, but it was too
late to signal the engineer.

Keller shut off the throttle and put on the brakes, and the three men in the
cab were ready to jump before the engine moved on to the bridge. The
engineer jumped from the right side of the engine, into a grade about 15
feet deep. At first it was thought his leg was broken, but he was taken to the
Sacred Heart Hospital where an x-ray picture was taken of his leg by Dr. J.
M. Fettis. The pictures showed that his leg was sprained. Malmgrem, the
firemen, and the break man, who was riding in the cab, escaped without
injury.

The heavy mass of iron and steel ran into the open track sliding the loose rail
ahead. The trucks on the engine cut the ties in two and it is a great
wonder the engine didn't fall through the bridge into the water. This
brought the train to a dead stop.

The northbound passenger train, No. 6, which is due out of LeMars about
7:50, took its route around by Hawarden, and will continue its way northward
from Alton.

A crew of men commenced work on the derailed engine this morning, but the
condition of the rails and ties and the difficult place to work may take a
day or more before passenger service will be running on this piece of track.

Later--This noon, a Milwaukee wrecking crew, out of Sioux City, arrived in
LeMars to get the crippled engine off the bridge. New trucks were brought
along, and it is expected that the wreck will be cleaned up by tonight, and
the same engine will haul the freight cars into Sioux City. Carl Arnoldson
is foreman of the crew of men that was repairing the bridge.

INSTANTLY KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Was Hauling Hogs to Sioux City
William Taylor Meets Death on Perry Creek Road Friday Night

William R. Taylor, age 23, son of Mrs. E. R. Taylor, of Preston Township,
was almost instantly killed last night about 10 o'clock, while all on his
way to the Sioux City market with a truck load of hogs.

The accident happened at the Max Yoerger corner, section 14, Liberty
Township, a mile south and 6 miles west of Merrill. Mr. Taylor was hauling
a truck load of hogs, for his neighbor, and was 10 miles from home when the
accident happened. He left home about 9:30 in the evening and was traveling
at a normal rate of speed. Coming down a hill, apparently, he released the
clutch of the truck and let the car coast. A good momentum was worked up
and at the intersection he met in a Ford car coming from the east. Mr. and
Mrs. J. McMahon and his family were in a Ford car, and were on their way
home. Mr. Taylor swung out to the side to avoid the accident, and the Ford
car hit the front wheels of the truck. The weight of the hogs and truck
turned the car over on its back, and it is believed Mr. Taylor's face was
slapped against the top of the cab, killing him almost instantly. The right
side of his face shows several marks where he was hit. No one was injured
in the McMahon car, although it went into the ditch. Mr. Taylor was dead
when Mr. McMahon arrived at the truck.

The truck Mr. Taylor was driving is not a month old yet. It is a Graham
Bros., truck with a load capacity of a ton and a half. He purchased the
truck, July 3. The truck was wrecked considerably, and was brought into
LeMars Saturday afternoon for repairs.

County coroner, L. E. Mauer was called to get the body. No inquest will be
held.

The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from the house in
Preston Township. The body will be taken to the Plymouth Presbyterian
Church, in Crathorne, and will be brought to LeMars for burial.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his mother, Mrs. E. R.. Taylor, and one
brother, Victor Taylor, who are living on the farm in Preston Township.

accommodate all the 7000 items usually carried. The second floor will be

Swallowing Pins Is Getting Too Popular

Little Jean Wright, a Minnesota visitor of the C. E. Clarke family, having

emulated by swallowing a pin herself this morning. It was an ordinary pin
with an unprotected point, but an x-ray showed that it was not doing any
harm, as yet.

10 YEAR OLD BOY BURNED TO DEATH
Sheldon Youth Trapped in Burning Barn--Remains Picked up by Scoop Shovel

Sheldon Sun: Clarence, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Menzie Dykstra,
residing 6 miles south of Sheldon on the Washington Avenue Rd., lost his
life Tuesday afternoon when a large barn caught on fire while he was up in
the hay mow. The boy was burned beyond recognition, and the remains were
gotten by Bob Christiany, one of the Sheldon firemen, by means of a scoop
shovel. It was one of the most terrible accidents that has happened in this
vicinity in a long time.

Reports differ as to the cause of the fire--either from spontaneous
combustion or else the boy had matches in his possession. A few loads of
oats cut rather green were put into the barn, which makes the combustion
theory seem reasonable.

The father has intimated that as near as he could find out the boy was up in
the hay mow while his sister came up to gather eggs and Clarence told her to
go down. Shortly after leaving the barn, the girl noticed it was burning
and put in an alarm. Almost in a moment the building was enveloped in
flames. It is thought that the boy endeavored to fight the flames, but
rapid spread prevented his escape.

The barn was burned to the ground in a little while. The Sheldon firemen
promptly responded, but were helpless to save the building.

Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their trouble.
It seems that they have had more than their share of late, losing an eight
year old child in death only last April.

Funeral services will be held Friday, we are told, at the home, the pastor
of the first reformed church of Archer, officiating. Interment will be made
in the family lot at Hospers.

AKRON: (Register-Tribune)
