Mower Cuts OFF Boys Foot

Edmund, three year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Westemeier,
who resides south of Worthington,
met with a distressing accident last
Monday morning. Mr.. Westemeier
was engaged in cutting down the
weeds in his potato patch and un-

running from the house, and stood
near him. Because of the noise OF
the mower he did not hear the child
approaching and the little fellow got
in front of the blade and his right
foot was severed above the ankle.
The little fellow screamed and his
father brought the horses to a
stop as quick as possible and car
ried the unfortunate child to the
house. A physician was Immediately
summoned who dressed the injured
member and last reports are he is

pected. The many friends of the
family are very sorry to hear of the

BARN BURNS NEAR OSSIAN
Fred Scheidemantel Barn, With Ma
chinery, Hay, Hogs, Etc.
Destroyed.

Fire on Saturday night, Sept.
10th, destroyed the large barn on
the Theo. A. Scheidemantel farm,
operated by Fred Scheidemantel.
Fred and his family left the farm
and motored to town about eight
o'clock and returned home about
eleven. They had already retired
for the night when a roaring noise
attracted their attention. Believing
it to be an automobile they paid no
further attention to it. But the
noise grew louder, and looking out
through the window Fred discovered
the barn a mass of flames, shooting
out through the roof. Neighbors
came to their assistance but were
powerless to save the structure. The
Ossian fire alarm was sounded and
many from town responded but too
late to be of much service, except to
save the outbuildings near by, which
required heroic work. The fire was
discovered shortly before twelve
O'Clock, midnight. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
In the barn was the summers hay
crop, straw, tools, farm machinery,
grain, etc., all of which were con-
sumed by the flames. Besides these
was one stock hog and 10 fall pigs,
and these, too, went with the fire.
The barn, 36x90 feet, can not be
rebuilt for less than $500. The
loss Fred sustained will amount to
about $4,000. The barn and con-
tents were partially covered by In
surance.
This is a big loss to both gentle
men, and especially to Fred, who
can lily afford catastrophe of this
kind. But Fred is a hustler ana
will work his way steadily upward
to success.-Ossian Bee.

While we do not want to pose

the town does not wish to under

The arrangement of the little

not be quite up to the class furn-
