Accident at GrotOn

The Groton Herald gives the
following in regard to the fatal
accident which resulted in in.
slant death to Brakeman E. W.
Fream last Sunday morning at
Groton: "Another fatal acct
dent occurred in the Milwaukee
yards at this place early Sun
day morning when E. w. Fream,
a brakeman on the early morn
ing freight, a young fellow about
81 years of age, was ground to
death between the wheels of the
big freight engine. Young
Fream had only been on the road
about FIVE months and was act
ing as head brakeman on the
freight. The train was engaged
in switching, and Fream jumped
onto the pilot of the engine and
rode to the switch at the west
end of the yards. When the en-
CINE neared the switch he
jumped off for the purpose of
opening it, and in some manner
he fell under the wheels of the
engine and his head was severed
from his body. Just what
caused him to fall has not been
determined. The young man
lived at Appleton, Mimi, where
his father is engaged in the mer
camille business. His parents
were at once notified Of the sad
accident and Mr.. Fream arrived
here Sunday afternoon to take
charge of the remains. He was
taken to Appleton, where the
funeral ervices were held and
the remains inferred. Mrs.
Fream, the young mans mother,
had just been brought home
from the hospital where she had
undergone an operation, and in
her weakened state the news OF
her sons tragic death complete

A man with a town house to
sell and a farmer five miles away
who wanted to buy, paid an
agent $500 tor telling them they
could trade. One hundred dol
lars a mile seems an overcharge
for carrying such a little infor-
nation, but sometimes folks
think anything is cheaper than
advertising. The $500 did look
big after they compared notes.
"Why didn't you tell me your
place was for sale?' asked the
farmer. You never asked me-
replied the other. How could |
know you wanted to buy?' When
you have something to sell don't
take it for granted that every
person who wants to buy will
find out about it without being
told. You can get the newspaper
to tell your story to more people
in less time than in any 9th er
