HARTINGTON - Clarence Kohls, small son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Kohls, had a narrow escape from death last week when his foot caught in the chain in the hay loader and was crushed in the cogs. The little fellow was out with his father in the field and his father had warned him to keep away from the loader, but if the chain came o the wheel, to call. Instead of calling, as his father had told him, Clarence thought he would help more by putting it back and tried to do so with his foot, which was caught and carried once around the wheel. Luckily it was released before the boy was drawn up into the loader or he surely would have been killed.
A physician was called and examined the injured member. He found the foot terribly bruised but no bones broken and the little fellow is making a satisfactory recovery.

HARTINGTON - Last Monday, Julius Kramer, who lives on Route 6, met with an accident, that, fortunately, did not prove very serious.
Mr. Kramer was working with the governor on a one and a half horse power engine, while it was going. The engine at the time was pumping water, and was not going at a very great rate of speed. Mr. Kramer caught his left hand in the flywheel, and it stopped the engine. It was lucky that the engine was going slowly or Mr. Kramer’s hand would have been badly mangled; as it was, a little skin was torn o, and it is healing rapidly.

HARTINGTON - Over 80 tickets were sold from Hartington for the special excursion to Omaha last Sunday. It was the lowest excursion rate that has been oered to the public in years and many took advantage of the low rates, to visit Omaha and friends there. The train from the Crofton branch consisted of seven coaches and by the time it reached Wakefield it was crowded. The special that came down from Bloomfield also consisted of about seven coaches that were well loaded with people.
