MRS. BEDORE
IS KILLED AT STILES

Walked Across Railroad Track in Front of Freight Train

Mrs. Odelia Bedore was instantly killed at Stiles last Friday afternoon by a C. M. St. P.& F. R. R. freight train. Mrs. Bedore, who was about eighty years of age, was crossing the railroad track at Stiles at the time of the accident. When the engineer saw her approaching the crossing he blew his locomotive whistle, but she apparently did not hear it, as she was already on the track when the train reached and she was struck and thrown about thirty feet. Besides other injuries she sustained a broken back and was dead when picked up.

Deceased was the widow of the late James Bedore and was an old and respected resident of Stiles. Her fatal accident was a severe shock to the community as well as to her relatives. She leave's four sons and daughters: Mrs. Eugene VanLaanen, Stiles; Mrs. Alice Ward, Phoenix, Ariz; Clifford Bedore, Advance, Wis., and Mrs. C. H. Post, Tipler, Wis., besides several grandchildren.

As the accident was plainly accidental no inquest will be held.
