TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS.
Death of Jens P. Jensen.

An accident occurred last FRIDAY
afternoon near the West Hamlin
Creamery, which resulted in the
death of Jens p. Jensen, pioneer
citized of Oakfield township, residing
about 5 miles west of Extra. He and
his aged wife were returning from the
creamery, whittier they had gone on
some business, and had but reached
the main road when their team be-
came frightened and ran away, over
throwing the vehicle with it's &C.
cupants. Mr.. Jensen was violently
dashed against some stumps by the
roadside and was picked up in an un-
conscious condition, as was his wife
who was also badly injured. They
were taken to their home which was
only short distance away and DR..
koob, of Brayton, was Immediately
summoned. On Investigation it was
found that the unfortunate man had
sustained five broken ribs and his
head was cut open, the cruel cash ex-
tending from the forehead TO he chin,
his left cheek being frightfully LAGER
ated.
While his children and kind friends
watched by his bedside he suffered
untold agonies for So hours and it was
Sunday morning at 6 O'Clock that his
Creator stilled the sufferings and took
him to that land where pain and sor-
row are unknown. The deceased was
born in Denmark in 1927 and came to
America about % years ago, settling
in Audubon county in the early SOS.
He leaves wife and eight children
six sons-Nels c., Chris, John,
Charley, James and Sophus, who all
reside here, and two daughters, the
Misses Hedevig and Catherine. The
funeral took place Monday afternoon
from ST. Johns Church, Rev. N. P.
Gravengaard conducting the services.
Although Mr.. Jensen had attained
the allotted three score and ten years,
the affair is made the more gloomy
and sad by the lamentable manner in
which his sudden death was brought
about. He was man of high and
noble thoughts and of strong char
acter and was highly esteemed and
respected by all. The bereaved
children and relatives in this dark
hour OF trial and sadness have the
profound sympathy of the communi-
ty at large.
Mrs. Jensen still remains in very
critical condition on account of her
advanced age, and while her injuries
are quite severe there are strong
hopes of her recovery.

Sad New Years Tragedy at Poplar

On New Years Eve at the solemn
hour of midnight, as the old year was
about to make its exit and the new
about to dawn, a dark shadow crept
silently over the little village of Pop
larand encircled its inhabitants in a
sad awful gloom. 1t was the shadow
of Death. A life that had, but few
moments before, been in the bloom of
manly strength and vigor was sud-
denly called away to its Maker. 1t
was just another fatal accident and
happened in the manner we chonicle
below.
Peter S. Petersen, merchant and
postmaster of the place, together with
some friends, were celebrating the
event of the incoming year and set
about to fire salute of honor with
anvils at twelve o'clock. According
ly they placed an old buggy wheel
between two anvils and charged the
hub with powder. A fuse was at
tached which Mr.. Petersen ignited
but he did not get far enough away
away before the explosion occurred.
The effect was something terrific and
as the wheel bursted, sharp splinter
flew up and struck him in the throat
severing the jugular vein. Friends
carried him to his home and sum.
moned surgical aid, but his life blood
fast ebbed away, and in 80 minutes
after The accident had occurred, he
breathed his last, amid the heart
rending lamentations Of his wife and
children, who could scarcely realize
how the deplorable affair had hap
pened.
Peter S. Petersen was born in the
province of Slesvig, Germany, about
80 years ago and came to this country
in 1890. He was married in July '95
to Miss Mary Rosenbeck and the
union was blessed with three chill
dren. He was engaged in the hotel
and livery business at Audubon for
some time-conducting the Farmers
Home on Market street. Later on he
located at Elk Horn and in 1897
bought the store at Poplar, and was
also appointed postmaster shortly
afterwards. He proved very success
full in business and built up large
trade in the past two years. He had
by hard work acquired good start
in life and fair competency for his
family when his sad and untimely
demise called him away from the
duties of life. He was a congenial
and atfiable person, generous and
courteous to all and his friends were
legion. No man who ever formed his
acquaintance could say aught but
good of him. Thus another husband
has been ruthlessly torn away from a
loving wife whose companionship
was to him the noblest and dearest
ideal in life. In years to come the
little ones who are left behind will
miss the fond embrace and guiding
hand of the indulgent father, who is
now no more. The aching hearts will
long mourn for the departed one and
in this hour of darkness and sorrow,
their greatest comfort and consola-
ton alone comes through Him, who
"doeth all things we'll" The funeral
services were held Wednesday after
noon at Bethania church, Rev. Simon
sen conducting, and all that was
mortal of Peter S. Petersen was then
consigned to the tomb in the adioin-
ing cemetery.
