Sad Accident at a Fair
MAUSTON, Wis., Sept 23___ A shocking accident occurred at the fair here near an operating machine in the agricultural implement department. The rapidly revolving shaft of the engine caught the clothing of a twelve-year old daughter of W. H. Van Wie, and whirled her to death in the presence of her parents and friends. Her head and shoulders were terribly bruised. It was some moments before she could be disentangled, and in the meantime a large crowd had gathered around the fatal shaft.
