The verdict for St0i6 secured by the
executors of the estate of Frederick
Grams against the Reiss Coal company
ef this city and Sheboygan n year ago.
in circuit court of OZaukee county. has
been reversed by the supreme court, and
the case, which was suit instituted to
recover $50, O00 damages for the death of
Grams, an employe Of the company ut

accident, in which Grams was seriously
injured by being strGck by II bucket of
coal occurred in 1901, and six months
latter, in May, 1902, the unfortunate man
died from the injuries he had sustained.
The damage suit brought by Grams ex-
ecutors was based on the claim that
Grams had come to his death because of
negligence on the part of the company
in failing to provide protection for its
employees. The action was to be heard
mt Sheboygan but the defendant filed
an affidavit of prejudice and the case

case The Reiss company was protected
against loss by insurance in the Trav.

DIED

On Tuesday of last week Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Egan of Meeme received n
telegraphic message conveying the sad
tidings of the death of their daughter
Florence at PheniX, Arizona, whittier
the deceased had gone last September
in the hope of regaining her waning
health. She was accompanied by her
sister, Miss Tessie Egan of this city,
who remained with the deceased during
the latters illness, and vino still resides
ia Arizoal. The decedent was 10 years
of age. She wasa student in the Chica-
90 high school until a year ago, when
she was forced to discontinue her studies
on account Of poor health. Had her
health not given way, she would have
graduated within a year. She was a
bright, studious, talented young lady,
and was possessed of those noble feini-
nine qualities which never fail to win
esteem and friendship. Her many
friends in this county and elsewhere will
sorrow for her untimely departure to
the Great Beyond and teuderly cherish
the memory of her brief sojourn on this
mundane sphere. Besides her parents,
four brothers and six sisters survive to
mourn her loss.
Interment took place at Phenix, Ari-
IONA.
No more on earth shall she be seen,
No more her orbs on parents beam;
No more her voice shall thrill the home
From which she did so early roam.
She's gone 20 where there is no grief,
No sad adieu-no sojourn brief.
She's tax II her flight to realms above
The bourn that is the goal of love.
