Fire
in Clary Addition.
The
fire department was called out Monday forenoon by an alarm from Clary addition,
but before the apparatus was got out the information was received the fire was
out. The alarm was sent in from the home of Louis Hazen. Mrs. Hazen had left
some clothing to dry by a stove and stepped over to a neighbor's house for a few
minutes. The children in playing about the room pushed the clothing on the
stove, when it caught fire. The clothing of an infant lying in a rocking chair
nearby was also set afire, but was extinguished before the little one suffered
any harm.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Hemerick Dies as Result of Poisoning.
David
Hemerick, aged one year and eight months, the little grandson of Olaf Langseth,
died at Madelia, Sunday evening, Feb. 24, as a result of poisoning. Mrs.
Hemerick had been churning late Saturday afternoon and the baby was playing
about the room. It seems that Mrs. Hemerick had occasion to step to the door for
a few moments and during her absence the baby picked the bottle from the table
and had drank the contents, about two teaspoonfuls, of the liquid.
A doctor was summoned immediately and the little fellow appeared to be all
right. He seemed as well as usual Sunday morning, but about three o'clock that
afternoon he became suddenly ill and in spite of medical aid, death came about
seven o'clock that evening.
The
funeral services were held from the house at
