Roy Girl from Bayfield, Slightly In
iured in the Accident
Hitting Sand While Turning Out for
Team Was Cause of
the Accident.

A big Mitchell car driven by
Philip Kinney turned over on
the Houghton road between this
city and the Raarup corner on
Sunday evening of this week.
Kinney says that he turned
out to pass a team and in doing
so his front wheels encountered
sand which caused the machine
to skid and he went into the
ravine near the Cease home
where the machine went COM
pletely over.
The Roy girl of Bayfield, sus-
tained injuries about the hip
and was taken to the hospital at
Ashland where it is said she is
getting along nicely. The other
Occupants of the car were but
slightly bruised and shaken up.
The fact that the top was up
up when the accident occurred
perhaps prevented serious injury
for the car went completely
over.

are unavoidable.
The funeral of Andrew A.
Johnson and Andrew Bergen
was held from the Norwegian
Lutheran church in this city
Monday afternoon at two o'clock
and was one of the largest at
tended funerals that has ever
been held in the city. The
funeral sermon was delivered
by Rev. Chr. Christensen and
was an eulogy on the lives of
these two men who have been
residents of the city for SO many
years. Interment was in Wood
land cemetery in two lots
located near each other.
The body of Melvin Young
gren was shipped to River Falls
and that Of VIM. B. Turner to
Alabama, while the body of Ed.

The two Washburn men were
the only men whom we have
known. Both were old and re-
spected residents whose ac-
quaintance extended throughout
the city. They were kind loving
and true, excellent citizens and
desirable neighbors and their
death has cast a gloom over the
community.

After Yelling ''Kamarad" German
Devil Shoots Herman Dahl
Bullet Goes Through Body Above Heart
But Young Man Will Live
Say Letters.

Herman Dahl of Iron River
who enlisted as a member of
Captain Peavey's company, and
WHO is now in France serving
with The colors, has been wound
ed in action according to letters
received from Washburn boys
this week.
The manner in which young
Dahl was shot was rather a
peculiar one. He was engaged
in taking German prisoners from
the front to the rear and was ac-
companying one who had yelled
"Kamarad" when the prisoner
suddenly whipped out a 45
calibre revolver from it's hiding
place in his clothing and shot
young Dahl through the body.
The prisoner then endeavored to
escape but was again made
prisoner.
The bullet is said to have en-
tered Dahl's body just above
the heart, going completely
through his body. In writing of
the accident Washburn boys
say the wound was a clean one
and that Dahl was getting along
nicely at hospital in France
and would live.
Dahl is the second member of
the Bayfield, County contingent
to meet with mishap in the war
zone. John B. Toutloff of Bay
field was killed in action.

cident with his auto truck Sun
day evening at the City Dock

avoid hitting a youngster who
refused to get out of his way.

trip down to the dock to get
some ice cream for Anil Scant-

approach to the dock he noticed
a lot of youngsters on the hill.
He sounded his horn and all of
the boys got out of the way with
the exception of one boy who
was hauling a wagon. and Mr..
Wiley says that in order to
avoid hitting this little fellow
he had to cramp the wheels of
his car which put him over the
edge Of the dock.

through the railing at the dock
approach and partly left the
dock, damaging the machine
considerably but without injury
