The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-08-19
Washburn, Wisconsin, Thursday. August 18th, 1915
Killed by Lightning

Coroner Amos M. Hansen was
called to Mason last Friday
afternoon by telephone mess
age announcing that the body of
Olof M. Bergman had been
found in hay field eight miles
west of Mason Friday morning.
Upon arriving at the scene an
investigation was made and the
findings of the coroner were to
the effect that Mr.. Bergman
had been killed by lightning.
The supposition is that Mr..
Bergman had been engaged in
haying and had built a fire in
one corner of the field. A storm
came up and it is supposed that
Bergman was standing near
the fire with pitchfork in his
hand with which he was stirring
up the Goals in the fire when
lightning struck him. Berg
mann's hat gave evidence of
this for it was torn in shreds.
There was also marks on the
back of his head.
Bergman was killed on the
18th but the body was not found
until the following day when his
absence was noted by friends.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at Mason, being in
charge of undertaken Amos M.
Hansen.

Building Fine Barn

l.. N. Joanise and son have
started the work of building a
new barn back of the residence
of George T. Fox on Central
avenue. The building is now
we'll under way and will be com.
pleted in the course of a week
or so.
The new building will extend
across the back of the lot. One
end will be used for a barn,
poultry coop and dog kennel and
the other end will be made into
an up-to-date garage.
Mr.. Fox is a breeder of thor
oughbred stock. He now has
one of the finest Guerensy cows
in this part of the state and his
poultry stock is among the best
In addition to this he has a
kennel of thoroughbred Boston
Terrier dogs.
The building of one end of the
barn into a garage likely means
that George will be the owner OF
an automobile before very long.

1t Pays to Advertise

Ed. Stevens says, cit pays to
advertise" especially when you
have lost pig.
Last week Mr.. Wilke, scienti-
fic farmer for Mr.. Stevens, was
hauling a pig to town. Some
where between the Stevens farm
and this city Mr.. Porker jumped
out of his crate and out of the
wagon. When Mr.. Wilke ar.
rived in town he drove around to
deliver his pig to the new owner
and imagine his surprise to find
the crate empty and Mr.. Porker
gone.
All efforts by Mr.. Wilke to o.
cate the pig failed and he gave
the matter up as lost job. The
Times last week printed a story
of Mr.. Wilkes experience and
after the issue of the paper was
out farmer boy called up the
Stevens farm and asked if their
pig was lost. Upon being in
formed that it was the boy stat.
ed that he would deliver the pig
to the Stevens farm for the sum
of 81 90. Mr.. Stevens agreed to
pay the price He says it pays
to advertise. He says if it had
not been for the article in The
Times he might not have found
his pig.
