  • Notes 
    • A Fatal Accident - Little Chute Kermiss closed with a death. The semi annual Kermiss which closed at Little Chute Monday night ended with a fatality and the village,, which had been filled with a merry crowd all day, was soon mantled with gloom. About 6:30 in the afternoon the party of seven climbed into a light three seated wagon and started for Kimberly at a lively gait. While descending the hill which leads to the Little Chute drawbridge one of the bolts which fastened the tongue to the wagon dropped out allowing the poll to fall. This so frighten the horses and they commenced to gallop downhill. Unable to turn at the bottom of a hill the wagon crashed sideways into the bridge railing knocking off two wheels and dumping all the occupants into the lock. Cries for help brought assistance and after considerable time all but Mrs. John Welhouse were rescued, this lady was drowned. The accident is a very sad one as Mrs. Welhouse is a young lady and only six weeks ago was united in marriage to Mr. John Welhouse.
