FAlRDALE WOMAN
NET BEATH IN A
PECULIAR WAY

Fairdale, n. D., Jan, 10.-NIrs. II.
Halyorson was killed by a fall which
fractured her skull and caused al
most instant death.
She was alone in the house with
the children at the time and the
exact manner in which she fell is
not known. The HaIvorsons had
just finished dinner and were PLAN
ming for a little party on the day
following. MI. Halvorson got up from
the table to go UP town to buy some
things needed for the party and had
only got a short distance from the
house when the little girls came out
screaming and called to him that
mamma had fallen down." He a
back and found his wife lying on the
floor with blood streaming from a
cut in the forehead. He called for
help and DR.. Joistad came in a few
moments and did everything possible
for her but In vain. An examination
showed the bone Just above one eye
fractured and a blood vessel in the
brain severed, causing her death.
The cause of her fall is a mys-
terry. She is known to have had a.
weak heart and it IS possible she
tainted, but she had never had any
spells Of any kind so the most
plausible theory is that she slipped
was holding a pan of potatoes at
the time and in falling with hands
full it is natural to hold it tight
and go down with it instead of put
ting out the hands to ward off the
impact.
The case is indeed a sad one, de-
ceased leaving four little girls moth
erless. The Halvorsons came from
Hoffmanny Mimi, last spring and the
remains were taken there for inter-
ment.

Two points were emphasized in the

with Mayor Marx, Monday afternoon,
the first being that the budget must
be kept low enough To Insure a Fedue-

departments must cooperate in pub

represented except the Board Of Wa

Health, which were overlooked
through an error in sending invita-
tons from the mayors office.
Mayor Marx declared to the com
missioners that necessities must come
before luxurious in making up the
budget and that II would be better TO
eliminate the "luxuries" altogether
than have the estimates run over last
years figures.
