of Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. DuBeau, who
was run down and injured about the
head Wednesday of last week on the
Third and Main street square by an
auto driven by Herman Jung of Les
lie township, Todd county, died last
night at 1915 o'clock in the apart
ments Of his parents in the Palmer
House. All the members of the I'M
mediate family were present when the
end came.
Death was caused by tetanus, COM
monty known as lockjaw. Thic compli-
cation set in last Tuesday, and, de-
spite the game struggle of the little
lad to live and the valiant efforts of
three physicians to aid him in his
fight, the encroachment of the malady
could not be staid
For several days after the accident,
in which the little fellow was liter
ally scalped by wheel of the ma
chine, besides sustaining severe body
bruises, attending physicians held
out every hope for ultimate recovery
unless unforeseen complications set in.
Tuesday there came a change and
the first slight symptoms of tetanus.
DR.. Moynihan, attending physician,
called DR.. J. F. Dubois into consulta-
ton and anti-tetanic serum was ad-
ministered. AS more serious symp-
toms developed the treatment was
continued. Mr.. DuBeau, father of the
child, sent hurried word to his uncle,
DR.. Godfrey Diziel of Minneapolis, a
specialist, and he arrived on the We'd
nesday noon train. After consulta-
ton between the three physicians, lit
tie hope was expressed for the recov-
cry of the child. The ravages of the
malady had swept past medical con-
troll and death was pronounced mat
ter of hours.
Funeral services will be held Fri
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the
congregational church with Rev. w.
j. Brown officiating. Interment will
be in Greenwood cemetery.
While it had been known for several
days that there had been change for
the worse in the condition of little
Donald, the tidings of his death came
as a distinct shock to the entire COM
munity and universal sympathy and
coincidence will go out to the bereaved
family.
The little fellow came here with his
parents last spring when they took
over the ownership and management
of the Palmer House. He was a
bright and cheerful lad, vivacious and
precocious and sunny. He became a
familiar little figure in his play about
the Palmer House corner, winning all
with his brightness and creerlness,
and was a prime favorite with the
travelling public which makes the
Palmer House it local home.
Wednesday of last week little Dom
aid crossed Third street with his little
go-cart to buy candy. On his return
trip, he had nearly negotiated the
cross walk back to the hotel when ne
was struck by the auto driven by
Jung. His escape from instant death
seemed almost miracle. Jung was
arrested, appeared before Judge
Diehl and paid fine and costs
amounting to $312O for driving on the
wrong side of street. Jung did not
trv to evade blame for the accident,
but contended he was confused by
traffic blockade. Witnesses declare ne
was not driving viciously or reckless
ly but that he had crossed to the
wrong side of the street.
Donald DuBeau was born May zl'
1912, at Monticello, Mimi. He came
here with his parents this spring and
besides his mother and father is sur
vived by brother and sister, holland
and Audrey, both living at home. "A.
E. DuBeau of the Caughren theatre
