little Katie, the eight-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Pluemer who reside about two miles
east of here, met with a sad and
tragic death by drowning. John
and Joseph Pluemer with their
families had been to spend the day
at the home Of Henry McLain in the
town of Harrison. The men folks
had planned to remain there until
night to take part in coon hunt,
and accordingly Mrs. John Plueme1,
with her three girls, Mamie, Katie
and Stella, aged respectively 6, s
and 10 years, accompanied by Mrs.
Joseph Pluemer with her two sons,
aged and 4 years, took one
team to return home before night
fell. In so doing they were caught
in the awful storm which swept
this locality. Water fell in sheets,
swelling the branches and creeks to
raging torrents, and it was in cross
ing one of these streams within a
mile or less from home that the
awful calamity befell them. They
had safely crossed one ford although
the water came up to the buggy
box, and approached the branch
where the accident happened. which
is near the Frank Gehlen farm and
ordinarily is perfectly dry, but at
this time was rushing, seething
mass of water. Having crossed
what they supposed to be the worse
of the two places, they urged the
horses through the raging torrent
and would have crossed without
mishap had not the double-trees
broken as they were ascending a
steep grade on the other side. The
horses broke loose and the wagon
rolled backward into the creek. Mrs.
Joseph Pluemer managed to throw
her eldest child from the convey
ance, and with her baby leaped and
landed safely. Mrs. John Plueme1
was driving, and her children were
sitting on the rear seat. She too
made an effort to save her loved
ones, but it was of no avail, fol-
almost instantly the vehicle rolled
back into the water and was as
suddenly overturned, and the oc-
cupants were submerged. 1t is
supposed that the unfortunate girl
was caught under the wagon and
drowned, although the body was
recovered nearly a mile from the
place. The two little girls were
carried several hundred yards by
the furious rush of the waters,
while the mother was carried still
farther, and through several barbed
wire fences. Fortunately the eldest
girls clothing caught on one OF the
these fences, to which she chung
and in all probability thus saved her
life. The youngest, being too small
to realize her great peril, was
found on bar where the waters
separated, but could not be taken
off for nearly an hour after help
came. Strange to relate, the little
one was not even wet up to the
shoulders and her hair was perfect

Sad Drowning at Potosi
And Other News Items

~ dry. She tells, that she walked
on the water and the rain kept
getting in her mouth, but she spit
it out. Mrs. Pluemer lost her
presence Of mind and remembers
very little Of what happened after
she was thrown into the water.
Her only thought seemed to be that
her children would all be drowned; :
and it is indeed marvellous that
the other two we're saved.
Justice Wilmott conducted an
inquest over the remains Of the
child Monday, the following from
this village acting as jurors: G. H.
Lewis, J. HI. Fure, F. Fl. Grimm,

be remembered by the members of
the family.

hICudIu Luuy, ldIuoI Living
southwest of the city, is in the
Chicago West Side Hospital, where
he underwent an operation for
tumor of the larynx. The trouble
had been growing for number Of
years, until lately it assumed such
alarming proportions that an i'm

With something less than a

cooked slowly for six hours, it is a
delicacy.

The present high price Of -four
has led many of the farmers of this
section to clean and grind their
own wheat for family use. The
wheat raised in this locality this
year was Of exceptionally good
grade, and will help to tide over
the high prices brought about by
the northern rust.
The fakir always follows the
