nesses went on ahead f the pair,

Girl Killed
Last Sunday
Miss Ethel Dill, Daughter of B. F.
Dill of South Bend and Sister
Killed Sunday in Wreck.
B. F. Dill, for nearly a lifetime has
resided near South Bend, lost his wife
some years ago, and his eldest daugh
ter, Miss Ethel, had kept house for
the father. Last week they decided
to go to Hastings to visit another
daughter and family, Mrs. Frank
Barta of that place. They drove out
to Hastings, Miss Ethel at the wheel
and were spending the week-end
there. Mr. Frank Bara and Mr. Dill
decided they would attend a ball
game at the park, and as the women
did not care to attend the game, they
took Miss Ethel's car and with the
two children of Mrs. Barta, went for
a ride in the country. As they were
driving along the road with Mrs.
Barta supposedly at the wheel, they
came to a sharp turn in the road and
as they tried to make the turn, the
auto turned over and rolled over
against the bank, killing both ladies,
almost decapitating them and tearing
away both their scalps. Phyllis, 5
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Barta was quite severely injured,
while Charles a son was badly shaken
up but not so severely injured.
A passing motorist picked up
the ladies and children and hasten
ed to the hospital at Hastings, but
on arrival it was found both ladies
were dead, they being removed to the
mortuary, while the children were
cared for at the hospital There was
no means of identification after they
were taken to the hospital, but back
at the wrecked car a reporter for
some paper came along and ascer
tained their identity through the li
cense certificate. The reporter Im
mediately telephoned South Bend and
was given the number of Oscar Dill,
a brother of Miss Ethel, but he was
not home, but a child there acknowl
edged the call and was told of the
wreck and upon the arrival of Mr.
Dill he was told of the phone call.
He immediately called Frank Barta
at Hastings and they were still un
aware that the wreck had occurred.
So Oscar broke the sad news and told
Frank to see about it. In a little bit
Frank telephoned back and said that
both girls were dead and Phyllis
badly injured. Oscar and wife left
for Hastings about midnight.
The remains were brought to the
Ashland mortuary Wednesday, one
by an ambulance from Hastings and
one by the Ashland funeral. The fun
eral was held from Ashland the burial
had there on Thursday afternoon.
SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
Miss Alpha C. Peterson, county
superintendent of schools and Miss
Marie Kaufmann, were at Omaha
Sunday for a short time visiting with

Miss Leach, who has been in very
frail health for a long time, is now
showing some improvement.
