Mrs. Newman, mother of DR.. r. G..

Rev. Newman, was for many years
minister in leading Washington church
and both have visited Stoughton.
Mr.. Wiedner and men made another
haul in Dunkirk township and the es-

in the seines. Mr.. Wiedner will con-
tinue operations in the Yahara river

will soon begin to pack for the market.
All of the week has been spent in Dun

F. ]. Yea, president of the Slough

u ain SATURDAY IIlSut llllOIuIlIlS uIIIl
that the wife of his brother, Charles
T. Johnson, had been suddenly killed
in at auto accident at Ada, Ohio, a
place south of Toledo and about 200
miles this side of Canal Dover, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson. Mrs.
Johnson was accompanied on the trip
home by Ovind Noer, her nephew and
son of DR.. Julius Noer, Stoughton, and
by her two sons, Matthew and Nor
man. The telegram said that none of
these was hurt. Mrs. Johnson operated
her own machine. She came to Slough
ton last week accompanied by her
mother, Mrs T. H. Dahl, and after a
few days visit decided to return to
Canal Dover, leaving Mrs. Dahl in this
city, who later departed for Minneapo-
lis. The journey from Canal Dover
to Stoughton was made without Incl
dent and she expected to return home
as safely. Besides the husband, Chas
t. Johnson, president of the Dover
Manufacturing company, she leaves
three children, the eldest a daughter,
Elsie. who is about 20 years, Matthew
and Norman. Ovind, the nephew,
writes that the car skidded on the
muddy road and on striking an obstruc-
ton it turned turtle. Ovind and Mat
thew were thrown clear of the machine
and escaped injury, as did also Nor
man, though riding in front with his
mother. 1t was the opinion of the ex-
amining surgeon that Mrs. Johnson
had died Immediately. There was a
small scar on the forehead; the body
was not otherwise bruised or marked.
