LITTLE BOY KILLED MONDAY.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nels GavIe
Met Shocking Death Monday
Morning
Dragged Through Patch Timber by
YearIng Calf

Last Monday morning about
o'clock, Orville, the eight year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Nels Gavle,
who live about three miles east OF
Satire, met a shocking death. With
his brother Norris, eleven years old
they started to take the cows out
Ito the pasture, and were instructed
to bring the horses back with them.
Orville took halter with him, and
in starting out put it on over his
head and shoulders and buckled
the strap around his body. When
he got about 50 rods from home he
took a notion to tie the end of the
rope around the calf's neck, which
he did. The animal was about
a year old and a pet. The calf
went along alright for little ways,
when the boys straw hat blew off,
which frightened the calf and he
started to run, and dragged the boy
into the timber quite ways. The
little fellows head struck against
the trees, and his skull was just
about crushed in and he was badly
bruised about the body. His bro
Their finally caught UP and stopped
the calf and united the halter, then
ran home to get his parents. They
arrived in a very few moments but
the boy was dead when they reached
him.
Coroner Dahl wass called and
went out and made an investigation
and the result was verdict of acct
dental death.
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow, Thursday, from the Big
Canoe church. Rev Tolo will Of
ficiate Mr.. and Mrs. Gavle have
the sympathy of many in their
bereavement.

The following letter is from
Richard Olson to his sister, Mrs.

work here in DEBORAH. He was
working in Estherville, when he en-
listed in the Signal Corps.

May 80, 1918.
Dear Sister Ada and All:
l just now received your letter
and pictures, and as this is holiday
and no drill / got lots of time to
write, and lots of news. Last Sun
day we were all under quarantine
and not allowed to leave our bar
racks or mingle with the other boys
in other companies. So in order
to keep our good spirits up our
Lieutenant took us for ten mile
hike, and believe me DEBORAH isn't
in it for hills, some of 'em here go
ST. diSAl up. IlS bOOh us iii oA .
Golden Gate Park. There sure is
some pretty scenery there, every
thing covered with roses and vines
California sure is apretty state.
Did l tell you about those Bel
GUM and Italian soldiers that arriv-
ed here? 1t was about ten a. m.
Sunday morning when some of the
boys noted a large ship coming in
and as we are stationed right along
the bay we get to see just about all
the boats coming in and out. 1t
was about eleven o'clock a. m. and
here comes $40 Belgium and 100
Italian soldiers. These men came
from Russia where they had been
fighting and in order to get back
to Belgium they had to come around
this way. was talking to one
Belgian boy, about 20 years old.
He was able to talk pretty good
English and sure told interesting
things that he had gone through
and had seen. He said he had
ridden on rail for 60 days and ships
25 days. And when us boys rode
four days out here we thought it
was terrible.
In the afternoon they had a pa
rade and in the evening there was
big band concert and reception.
After the concert you should have
seen those Belgian soldiers make
for Frisco and it didn't take them
very long to get there. Every place
you would go you would see them.
They were all over town, but / guess
they didn't get lost, as they were
back here the next day and showed
us a few of their drills. / think
they will be here for about a week.
The only thing I don't like about
it is that we don't know where we
will be next. There is shipment
out of here about every fourteen
days, and you don't know where
you are going, whether its France,
/ PHILIPPINES, or the border Well
think that I've said enough oh
yes, got those cookies, and many
thanks. They sure were good. Only
thing they didn't last long enough
Be sure and write soon, telling me
all the latest DEBORAH news.
Lots of love,
DICK.
