Dies of Broken Neck

Walter Kuhn, aged about thirty-five died at the Red Cross Hospital in this city, about midnight Wednesday, the result of a broken neck. While witnessing a ball game at Wilmont Sunday he approached a friend and asked to get under his overcoat as it was cold. The friend complied with his request and in a friendly struggle the accident occured, although no one know exactly how. He was brought to this city and placed in the hospital. He was employed by G.J. Savidge in the well drilling business and worked with that gentleman in this city about two years ago. We understand that his parents are dead, and at the present writing no arrangements have been made for the funeral. The young man with whom he was fooling feels badly over the affair, but no blame is attached to him.

Mrs. Thomsa Knudtson, residing at Luverne, wrapped her little six-months' old baby in a blanket and placed it in a high chair near the stove and left the house for a few minutes. When she returned the blanket was in flames, and the baby's legs horribly burned. It is thought that the infant cannot live.
