Little One Dies at Hospital

Mr. and Mrs. John Coleman, who has

who was taken to the hospital in Lin

of care and attention, passed away on
last Friday night and the funeral was
held cn Sunday, with interment in
the Alvo cemetery. Mr. and Mrs.
Coleman have the sympathy of their
host of friends here in the loss of
their little one.
Loose Gravel Caused Spill
; While Mrs. Herman L. Bornemeier
was driving their auto from their
home near Alvo to Lincoln, she came
to a place where the road had been
newly graveled and one wheel of the
car caught in a ridge of loose gravel,
jerking the steering wheel out of
her hand and although she grasped
it again very firmly, the was not able
tc keep the car from leaving the read.
After skidding along in the loose
gravel, the car turned ever, but no
serious damage was done, Mrs. Borne
meier escaping with only minor cuts
and bruises. Even the car was not
damaged nearly as badly as one might
expect. Loose gravel is hard to 'ne
gotiate at any time, especially if the
car is traveling at any speed, and
when one conies upon it suddenly
while bowling along at a good rate
of speed it is doubly dangerous.
