Tragedy Near Whittemore As Man Is Killed By Train
In Whittemore Joe Miller and another man using the name Frank Myers drifted into town three weeks ago to work on Vaughts place.

The other man, who turned out to be his brother or a close relative, reported the fatal accident, attended the coroner, and funeral services were held for Miller at the Catholic church and burial in the Catholic cemetery.
