LARGER BOOM THAN EVER

During the past four or five years
Audubon has experienced q steady
boom in the building line. II the
pace, established SO far this year,
keeps up, she will develop during the
year 1915 q recurrence OF the boom
days that characterised her phenom-
inal growth In 1873 and 1879.
Twenty-six blocks of paving have
been contracted for and grading will
be commenced about the middle of
June. The water works extension is
almost completed and the work on

KlllBlE fON MAN
RUNS OVER BOY
Automobile Runs Into Foarteen Year
Old Boy Who Was Riding
bicycle, Causing Instant

A sad and fateful accident occurred
Monday afternoon near Elk Horn
when william 8. RattenbOrg, the
fourteen year old sos OF Chris p. Rat
tenborg living four miles south and
one mile west OF. ELK Horn was in
stAntly killed while riding his bicy-
Gle. He was struck W an AppersOn
car driven by Hans B0nnesen OF KIM
balltOn. In the collision the boy was
run over and his nick broken. It is
thought that death was instantaneous.
The story of the accident as CLEAN
cd from various sources IL that the
lad had been to Elk Horn ON his hi
cycle on an errand for his father, who
had also gone to. town with load OF
hogs, but had sent the lad on the
erfand because he would return on
his wheel quicker than his father
could. The lad was on his way home
and when coming down the hill by
the school house, near Elk Horn,
his hat blew OF. He had reached
the bottom of the hill on the wheel
and had started back up to get his
hat when Mr.. Bonnesen came up the
hill, going north in his car. In try
ihg 60 90 around the lad ON the bicy-
Gle he swerved his car to the east on
the right side of the road, instead, It
10 claimed, OF passing from behind to
the left as 10 the rule. As the car
came up from behind, the lads
wheel wobbled, according to Mr.. Bon
nesen, and he fell directly in the path
Of the car. which ran over him break
ing his neck and killing him instant
~. The steering knuckle of the car
was broken and Mr.. Bonnesen left 1t
at the east side of the road, where 1t
stood for some time Monday, being
undisturbed by order Of the county
attorney and coroner. until the in
guest could be held over the lads
body.
Another story reached Audubon
yesterday was that the two were
racing and that the boy fell when he
gained such q high speed that he
could no longer control the bicycle.
The boys body was taken to his
country home where an inquest was
held. But the final inquest will not
be held until June 7th. when the mat
ter will be reviewed at Harlan. DIR.
Moore of Harlan, the county coroner
empanelled jury Tuesday composed
OF @. w. Moore, John Nygaard and A.
q. echnell.
Mr.. Bonnesen was held under
$1,000 bonds. which he furnished, to
appear at preliminary hearing at
Harlan June 7th. The charge against
BOnnesen will likely be one Of man
slaughter or criminal negligence.
Bonnesen has been in the mercantile
business In Kimballton but recently
sold out there. 1t IL said that he only
recently finished settling for an ac-
cident In which he was mixed up at
Omaha, when he IL said to have run
into . couple Of old people, and It hi
reported that he paid $4,000 In set
tlen,ent of the case.
