Custer City, S. d., Dec. 16.-The funeral
OF Thos. Bellmare, who was killed In a
most tragic manner. IS being held here
today. Bellmare was hauling water for a
threshing engine, and when but a short
distance from the threshing outfit. his
team became frightened and started to
run. Belmare fell and the heavy wagon,
which contained water, passed over his
chest. A most peculiar phase OF the ac-
cfdent was that few IL any bones were
broken or even fractured, although his
liver. lungs and other internal organs were
ground to a pulp. Mr.. Bellmare was q
man with a wife and family, who live near
Custer City. He had lived Ia this county
many years, and operated threshing ma
chimes a great deal. He operated In early
days q ~threshing machine which vas run
by means of two horses furnishing tread
power. After the accident he lived a few
minutes, but was unconscious. Interment
