gave short talk on ''The Kind of 3
Dad / Would Like" He said that
he would like father that would be
close to nature and want to hike to

picture was beautiful. He also said
that he would like father who
would De interested in atheletics and
as Neal Brown said in his talk before
the high school several days ago, not
bring his son up to be coddled and SO
not know now to earn his own living
by the sweat of his brow, but rather
one who would bring his boy up to
love work and not be afraid of it.
This address was applauded with
vim.

of the appreciation of the boys, lie
presented Mr.. Brandenberg with a
travelling bag by which to remember
the boys Of Wausau. Mr.. Branden
berg then rose and said that he hard
ly knew what TO say. He said that
he had made many friends during his
two years residence in this city and
tha6 he did not like to leave. He
thanked the boys for the grip they
Lad given him. Mr.. Topey, before
introducing the next speaker, said
| that he hopeS Mr.. Brandenberg would

that he wished that he might hep
all boys TO grow to be strong ard
vigorous men, Tor although he has no
boys he has girl and when she mar
ries he wants to know what kind of a
young man she marries and for this
reason he is very much interested in
boys. He read story to the fathers
which he said he hoped would inspire
them to become chunls and fast
friends with their sons who often
want to come to their fathers with
their troubles, but because he is so
busy they are not able to come and
SO many times take the wrong path
and then meet failure. His address
was greatly appreciated.

YOUNG GIRL SHOT
NEAR EDMUNDS
VeItIe Moftit Killed in Shoot
Ing Accident

Vertie Moffitt, young girl aged
II years, who had been living at the
farm of Ben Baker, west Of Edmunds
and near Arrowwood lake, was shot
and killed Sunday afternoon at the
farm, shotgun in the hands of
Chris Sonsen, an employe at the
Baker farm, being discharged as he
(Sonsen) and the girl were playfully
scuffling previous to Sonsen's leav-
ing on fishing expedition to Arrow
wood lake. The girl had just taken
hold of the shotgun near the muzzle
when the entire charge entered her
eft leg near the hip and came out
in the groin, tearing terrible
wound, while several shot also passed
into the right leg. Sonsen and Mr..
Baker quickly carried the girl, who
eell screaming, into the house and
telephoned at once for DR.. Long
streth at Kensal. The doctor reached
the scene in twenty minutes but the
girl had died, bleeding to death from
the severed arteries a few moments
after the accident occurred. Coroner
Guest and DR.. Freese of jamestown
were called and also Juvenile Officer
William Blake, who had placed the
girl at the Baker home, and Howard
Smith of the Eddy-Procter Furniture
h0 f0 tn
bring home the remains of the un-
fortunate girl.
In telling of the shooting to Cor
oner Guest, Sonsen stated that he and
Mr.. Baker were about to leave for
Arrowwood lake to fish and were to
take the shotgun in order to kill a
gopher for bait. Sonsen carried the
loaded gun out to the granary, ap-
preached the wagon where Vertie
Moffit was standing talking to Mr..
Baker. She playfully grabbed the
guns muzzle and in some unknown
way, states Sonsen, the left barrel of
the gun was discharged. Baker was
kneellng on the ground at the time
attaching fshhook to line and did
not see the accident.
After questioning the witnesses to
the accident, Coroner Guest decided
there was no need for an inquest.
The deceased formerly lived at
Manning, Dunn county, and is sur
vived by her father and sister, Logs,
who is living with Mr.. and Mrs. John
Canham at jamestown. The funeral
was held from the Eddy-Procter
chapel on Tuesday with burial at
Highland Home cemetery. The un-
fortunate accident created much ex-
citement at Edmunds and vicinity.

pared to carry through her plans by
force of arms if necessary.
The British government was official.

troops had invaded Belgium and that
