Three-Year-OIcl
Gretna Boy Ser
iously Burned
Eugene Grefe Victim of a Most Un
usual Accident Scalded by
Kettle of Hot Soup.
The many Louisville friends of Mr. '
and Mrs. Martin Grefe, of Gretna,
but recent Louisville residents, will
regret to learn of an accident that
befell their little three-year-old son,
Eugene, last week, when he was ser
iously burned by scalding hot soup.
The tlitle fellow was playing with
his little cousin, the daughter of
Mrs. Louis Kulcinsky, sister of Mrs.
Grefe, who i3 here from Illinois viith
her little daughter for a visit. They
were rocking and in some way the
back of the rocker caught in th$
kettle of soup which was boiling on;
the stove and dragged it from the!
stcve, upsetting it all over the little,
boys' back. '
His entire back and the back of,
his arms are burned, but fortunately
his head and face escaped injury. He
is in a most pitiable condition, but
is under the care of skilled physic-1
ians and they assure his parents that
he is getting along a3 well as could
be expected, but it is a very distress
ing affair and is causing their friend?
much sorrow and anxiety. The little
girl received only a slight burn.
Mr. Grefe's uncle and aunt, Rev.
and Mrs. Hartman drove over to see
them on Saturday and Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Stohlman drove over last
Sunday. The little boy is kept on
pillows and it is a very painful thing
to move him. The Courier joins with
the entire community in extending
deepest sympathy to Mr. and Mrs.
Grefe and feel very sorry for the I
little boy who is well known here,
where he was always popular and
greatly loved. Louisville Courier.

STUDYING SANKRIT
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 11. Nine
graduate students of the University
of Nebraska this year are beginning
the study of Sankrit, "the deadest of
all dead languages."
Sankrit is the earliest of the group
of so-called "Indo-European" lang
uages about which scholars have any
adequate knowledge and is of especial
interest to students of language be
cause English and all modern Euro
pean tongues are later developments
of this group. Sankrit was spoken
about four thousand years ago by the
peoples of ancient India, but is still
preserved in the sacred writings of the
Brahamans.
At Harvard, Yale, the University of

four students in a class.

THE BETTER RAILROAD ERA
A railroad authority, in discussing
j the changed attitude of the public to
ward the railroads, says:
"Recognition of an obligation to the
public has grown upon, and has been
accepted by the railroads. Recogni
tion has grown upon, and has been
eccepted by the public of the truth
that an exercise of power carries with
it a correlative obligation of Justice,
and that aside from justice to the car
riers, the highest and most essential
interest to the public which will en
able the carriers to provide adequate
'and efficient transportation.
1 "The ownership of the railroads
has passed from the few to the many.
Stockholders of steam railroads in
1910 totaled 416,508. On Dec. 31,
1925, it Is estimated that there were
: 190.000. It would be conservative to
say the total number of railroad se
curiy holders, bond and stock, is to
day practically 2,000,000.
