dent; Is Held Blameless

Little Florence Olsen, the seven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. O.
C. Olsen of Shutdown township met a
horrible death last Friday afternoon.
Chris. Peterson, an employee at the
Olsen home was driving a heavily
loaded manure spreader past the house
when he heard peculiar sounds from
behind the machine.
Looking behind the wheels he saw
the child Icing on the grounds, the
wheels having passed over her head.
Death followed almost Immediately.
Jusst how the accident happened has
not been learned by The Gazette. The
driver did not see the child and was
unconscious of her presence until he
saw her behind the spreader. No blame
is attached to him in any way and the
chiids position beneath the wheels
will always be a mystery.

His family was visiting at New
Ulm and the house work was being
done by his mother, who was not
familiar with the operation of a gaso-
line stove. After she had finished
getting the noon day meal she only
partially turned off the valve through
which the oil is fed to the burner. The
flame died out, but there was a slow
leak of oil, during the entire after
noon and when Mr.. Niemann applied
the torch at about six o'clock the
quart of gasoline which had leaked out
in the pan went off like flash. He

From Vesta to The Yellow

A new road leading south from

COMPANY L. RETURNS
Boys Take Up Civilian Life After
Strenuous Ten Days of Army Life
at Camp Mccoy

The Boys of Company L returned
last Wednesday afternoon, tired Of
soldering and beautifully tanned, but
glad they had had the experience OF
camping at Camp Mccoy. All the
members of the Company were in
good health upon their arrival here
although some of them had suffered
from vaccination during their stay at
camp. The hard work had apparent

The boys marched upon their re-
turn directly to the Armory where
they were given refreshment other
than beans and bread for which many
of them seem to have strong dis
taste. After a brief reception the
boys disbanded, seeking an early OPP

The three members who failed to
accompany the Company to Camp Nc

near future, each of them having

Company L was the largest single
company in camp and won much ap-

Car Driven by w. C. Hyde Backs Over
Steep Embankment And Falls
Into Ravine Below
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE INJURY
Mr.. Hyde And Son Not Even Bruised
After Wild Descent; Machine
Badly Wrecked

w. G. Hyde, Assistant Postmaster,
and his son had miraculous escape
from death when the car in which they
were riding, slid over the high en-
bankment near the Hyde residence last
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Hyde was driving a REQ car
purchased Sunday and was turning the
car around in his yard preparatory
to going driving with his family.
msome unexplainable way Mr.. Hyde
used the reverse instead of the for
ward speed, or possibly threw the ma
chine into high speed with the reverse
lever set. At any rate the machine
backed suddenly and went down the
embankment.
]. Corbett, mechanician for the Lob
dell Garage Company, in getting the
machine up yesterday found that it
had made drop of 100 feet down an
embankment sloping at an acute angle.
1t turned over at least once on it's
downward route.
Both Mr.. Hyde and his son made
the entire descent with the car and
crawled out when it reached the bot
tom of the cliff absolutely uninjured.
1t is not understood by any one who
has seen the place where the car went
down, how its occupants could have
escaped terrible injury.
The car was badly damaged having
it's top broken off, the steering gear
broken and the car-body smashed up
considerably. The expense incurred in
its repair will undoubtedly be very
heavy.

feast IL it is daintily served. Many
good cooks seem to have no idea OF
system in the arrangement OF the table
or the service OF the meal which Is so
excellently prepared.
There are certain set rules relative to
laying a table which should always be
observed. The table itself should be
covered with felt or asbestos to pro-
tect 1t from hot dishes. and the cloth
should be laid evenly With the creases
meeting at the exact center. There
should be a oenterpiece OF linen laid
on the cloth. which, II embroidered, Is
daintier all in white than in oolors. On
this place a low bowl of flowers or a
growing plant.
Have the silver bright. and arrange
the knives, soup spoons. and oyster
fork at the right OF the plate. and the
forks and smaller spoons at the left.
II butter spreader Is used. place 1t
on the bread and butter plate just above
the forka, and set the water glass in
the same relative position TO the knives

every dish will be removed. one at a
