AT her home seven miles west
OF Extra on Friday May 29th Mrs.
Nels Christensen euccumbed to an
attack of apoplexy. The good

fall when his automobile becoming
unmanageable took him over a
bridge and down to his death.
1T was indeed a TERRIBLE blow to
fhe family and now to be bereft Of
mothers kind care makes the
home doubly sad. Mr.. and Mrs.
Christensen's family was one of
the model families of Audubon

as grave an offence as could be
commi tied and many soldiers have
been shot who slept while ON guard
Our boys kept an eye open ALL
