A very sad accident happened Mon
day afternoon. Otto Thorson Selnes
was out driving, having along Mrs.
Lorens Flack of South Dakota and
children, and while driving along the
road by Gilbert Anderson's something
went wrong with the neckyoke and
the occupants were thrown out with
the sad result that Mrs. Lorens Flack
died q short time after the accident
and the others were hurt more or less.
The maiden name of Mrs. Flack was
Elsie N. Selnes. daughter of Nicolai
Selnes. living a short distance east of
