A shocking
accident occurred in Tabor Monday afternoon in which Mrs. Carl Benedict, young
matron of that place, was so terribly injured she died a few
hours later.
It seems that she started to kindle a fire in
.the cook stove, quickly, not knowing there was fire in it. She poured kerosene
from the can and there were enough live coals to ignite it. The can exploded
throwing burning oil over her. A neighbor, Mrs. Hall, who was visiting her,
threw water on her extinguishing the fire, and summoned a physician and help.
She was
given first aid
and then taken to the Hand hospital in Shenandoah where she died about midnight
the same day. The accident happened about 2:30 in the
afternoon.---Malvern Leader.

Fritz
Nelson, 57, and Emil Jenson, 30 were killed at Greenfield Monday noon of last
week, says the Greenfield Free Express, when a sewer ditch in which they were
working, caved in and buried them under four foot of dirt.
Nelson and
Jenson, employees of the Teget Construction Company,
who have the contract for the Greenfield Sewer System, were working at the
bottom of a 8 foot ditch. They were digging the bottom of the ditch,
which was too deep for the small machine. The men were
shoveling the dirt into the machine, which carried it to the top of the
excavation.
Without warning the bank caved in, burying the men. Men were
brought from nearby ditches, and fifteen minutes elapsed before the buried men
were
uncovered . Nelson was breathing slightly when his head was uncovered, but died before he
could be removed from the ditch.
Both men were standing upright when uncovered, their shovel
between them.
The roadway where the cave in occurred was filled and the
men had failed to use bracing lumber which had been hauled to the ditch for
that purpose.
Foreman Delong had ordered them to put in the bracing before
they dug farther, and had left the job to go to another part of the town.
The crew had been working in clay previously which did not
require bracing and upon entering the filled dirt the foreman had warned them
of the danger.
Had it not been for the hard crust of the roadway which fell
in on top of them with crushing weight, it is possible the men could have been
dug out of the loose dirt without loosing their lives.
Both of the men were badly crushed about their chest when
examined by Dr. Edna Sexsmith, county coroner, who
pronounced the two deaths accidental and announced that no inquest would be
held.
