Wednesday, about eleven o'clock a.m., little Carl, the seven year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Houltgren met a tragic death. In
company with several other boys he was riding on a load of dirt
in southeast Odebolt, and fell between the wheels of the wagon,
one of the hind wheels passing over his neck killing him almost
instantly. When the lifeless form of the little fellow was
carried to his parent's home the scene was heartrending. His
mother, who is sick in bed, was of course seriously affected and
her husband, who is section foreman on the North-Western was
several miles east of town and cold not reached by telegraph. A
courier was immediately dispatched however, and about one o'clock
the father arrived, to find the bright little one he left only a
few hours before healthy and joyous, cold in death.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis, of Eden tp., are the happy parents of a
boy baby born to them the latter part of last week.
Owing to some slight technicalities in the call for a special
election two weeks ago, to vote upon the question of bonding the
town for waterworks, it was found to be necessary for the council
to take further action in the matter and to make plans and
specifications for the information of the voters, before an
election could be had that would be according to law, and upon
which the bonds could be disposed of. The council will take this
subject up at their regular meeting next Monday evening, and will
call the election for about July 15.
