The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1918-10-05

Mrs. John Hubbard on Wednesday
received a message from her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Fellows, OF Norway,
conveying news OF the death OF her
brother. Jimmy, in France. He was
wounded in battle on Aug. 4th. and
his twin brother. Walter, was wound
ed the same day. The boys were
students at the Norway high school
when they enlisted a year ago last
April, and on May OF this year were
seventeen years OF age. They were
the first boys to enlist from Nor
way when the call came for volun-
teers. They were in different compan-
les, and crossed the ocean on the same
transport, but did not know II until
they arrived at Liverpool. That was
the last time they saw each other. On
September 5th Walter wrote his sis
ter that he was out of the hospital and
In the S. o. S.--a dandy place; quiet,
and long ways from the front. He
says he will not be able to see action
for many months. The boys spent a
number OF their vacations working In
the mines and are well known here.
Mrs Hubbard has the sympathy OF
our people in her sorrow.

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AyERTED.

Mr.. and Mrs. Martin suppa, their
six-year-old daughter and three-year-
old boy had narrow escape from
what might have been serious acci-
dent Thursday morning. They were
on their way to visit friends who live
on farm back OF the Judson mine,
and while crossing the railroad track
the vehicle they occupied was struck
by the passenger train as It was de-
parting from Alpha. The family
were thrown out and the buggy bad
ly damaged, but we understand that
aside from being badly shook up and
receiving bruises they escaped in
jury. The track is not INSTRUCTED at
this point, and Just why they didn't
SEQ or hear the train is a mystery.
