The Boys and Girls club of Good
Thunder put on a pageant under the
direction of Miss Bertha Graham
schools. This was one of the most
entertaining features of the after

the real nature of the disease devel-

Born in Mankato, October seventh

Last year she taught school near Will
mar, and. this fall entered the State
Teachers College where she was a
student at the time OF her death.
First as pupil and later as a
teacher, she, was a devoted worker

unusual degree, she absorbed all

Wherever she went, her ready sym

inspiration to all with whom she

all who knew her goes forth to the
father and mother and to the broth

the family home; Frederick, Doro-

Farmer Was Badly
Injured In Accident
John Curtiss, Living Near St.
James, Ran Into BY
Automobile
Especial to The Free Press.l

st. James, Mimi, December H.
John Curtiss, young man about
twenty years old, and living on a
farm not far from st. James, had a
very narrow escape from serious in
jury about 1880 Saturday night while
driving to his home on the hard sur
face road. When Mr.. Curtiss reached
a point about one and a half miles
east of this city with his horse and
buggy he claims that he was run into
by an automobile which he alleges was
running on the wrong side of the road
The horse was thrown clear over
the fence to one side of the road and
both hind legs were broken and the
buggy completely demolished. Strange
as it may seem, Mr.. Curtiss escaped
with but few minor bruises. The
automobile which was being driven
by Terrill Erickson plunged nose
down off the highway into the mud,
but the occupants of the car, four in
number escaped with but minor in
juries.
Sheriff Joseph c. Bermel and Night
Policeman Sever Bilben later in the
night put the horse out of its misery
by shooting it.
