FATALLY INJURED

Soren Hogensen, who lives out near Admah, met with an accident Monday evening while attempting to stop his team that resulted in his death about two hours later.

It seems that the team started to run away while Mr. Hogensen was opening a gate, and when he tried to stop them he lost his hold and was knocked down under the animals, and aside from being tramped on was run over by the wagon. The injured man was taken to the house and given every attention possible, but he died in less than two hours after the accident.

Mr. Hogensen was a renter on the old Benson farm and leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his death. He was about 60 years old. The funeral was held from the late home yesterday.
