LAD KILLED WHEN
TRUCK LEAVES ROAD

The saddest accident that has hap
pened in L'Anse township in many
years was the untimely death of AL
fred Tollefson, age 16, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Levion Tollefson, who was acci-
dentally killed Thursday evening Of
last week, between the hours Of five
and six o'clock. He was run over by
the two ton White truck driven by
Henry Lachapelle of Pequaming and
owned by the Ford Motor company.
The truck was taking the carpen-
ters TO Pequaming, they being em-
ployed in L'Anse assisting on the re-
pair work at the mill.
The lad was STRUCK while riding
along the side of the road on a bicy-
Gle in front of Fred Schutte's home
on the bay shore.
Coroner H. M. Hansen with Deputy
Sheriff Henry LaSarge, secured Geo.
Paquette, George Sanregret, Oswald
o. Deschaine, Herman ]. Seifert, A..
VIM. Beesley and Ted Edwards as a
jury. They Immediately viewed the
body, the scene of the accident and
also examined the truck. On Friday
evening the hearing was held and ev-
idence was presented to show that the
car had struck cow just short dis
rance from where the lad was hit,
the car almost running into the lake
with its load of freight and men. At
ter missing the edge of the bank by
about six inches the truck continued
on it's way, running clear out of the
highway and striking the boy on the
side of the road. Albert was riding
a bicycle and was driving the cows
home, it being about a quarter of a
mile from where the fatality occurred
to his home. The front of the truck
struck the bicycle and threw the lad
under the car, the wheel running over
his head. Death was instantaneous.
Evidence also was introduced to show
ing and that the only illumination was
a spotlight attached to the right front
of the car. -
The verdict of the jury was to the
effect that Alfred Tollefson came to
his death by being run over by said
truck, and that the accident in tnelr
belief was due to the negligence of
Henry Lachapelle in travelling at an
unsafe speed, taking into considera-
ton theh loaded truck and the de-
fective lights on the car at the time
of the accident.
The deceased was the third son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Levion Tollefson and
was born in L'Anse township Febru-
ary 20, 1907, always residing here.
He was a student of theh L'Anse and
was a Junior. Besides his parents,
he is survived by two brothers, Leo
and Hans, and four sisters, Mrs. Pc
ter H. Clyne, Clara, Hannah and En-
ma.
The funeral was held Sunday morn
inng, with services in theh M. E.
church, Rev. Dyre officiating, the re-
mains being laid at rest in the local
cemetery.
