by the laughter of two little tots,
for the life of one of two daugh-
tiers was crushed by the wheels
of a milk truck Tuesday morn
ing.
Rosie Mary, one and one-half
years old, was evidently curious
as the truck, driven by James
Weber of Pine City, made it's
call at the home, and got in the
way of the front wheels as the
truck started to leave. The little
girl had evidently come out of the
house into the path of the truck
as the driver warned a three
year-old tot to stay back from
the wheels as he prepared to
start. When the truck started
he heard a scream and upon stop
ping Immediately found that one
front wheel of the vehicle had
crushed the little girls head, kill
ing her Immediately.
The coroner, DR.. A. L. Arends
of Askov, was called and upon
investigation found death was &C
cidental.
The young parents, who are
silent in grief, have the sincere
sympathy of neighbors and
friends.
