Ephraim. Sept. 23.-A peculiar and I'M
usual accident happened to Alvin Berthe

bosom of his shirt was torn. in places his
flesh was badly burned and his hearing
was almost destroyed. Shortly after the
accident his brothers found him lying face
downward and unconscious. His dog was
lying near, which had been killed by the
lightning. Bertleson was brought 10 town
and according to last reports he is re
covering.
A very sad funeral was held here yes
terday afternoon at the tabernacle over
the remains of Sarah, the u-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Jacob Peter
son. The little girl was taken sick about
four months ago, but her condition was
not thought serious until the doctors
pronounced her case diabetes. She was
taken suddenly worse about a week ago
and gradually sank until Friday night
when death relieved her. Many friends
were present at the services and about
forty of her little friends marched be
hind the hearse to the cemetery, each
carrying a bouquet of flowers. The speak
ers were S. NJ. Olsen. Henry Beal and
]. p. S. Breinholt.
Actual work in the Ephraim public
