a. tn., Mr. John Kiehne died at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Kiehne near Fredericks-
burg. The deceased was a son of
the late Mr. Frederick Kiehne,
sr., and he reached the age of
73 years 7 months and 15 days.
It is said that he was the first
white child born in the newly
organized colony Fredericksburg
in 1846. His birthday was Au-
gust 1, 1846.
Mr. John Kiehne grew up at
the parental farm on the Palo
Alto. He never married. In
later years he lived with the fa-
mily of Mr. Chas. Kiehne on their
place near town. His death came
on quite unexpectedly. He par-
took of a hearty meal just a short
time before his death.

Monday a week ago Mr. Max
Treibs, on his way home from
their pasture, discovered a
yearling steer of Mr. Erwin Nef-
fendorf’s hanging in a wire fence
by the hind leg. The animal had
been missed for two weeks and
had been given up as lost. Due
ory to the cool weather was it
possihle for the animal to live so
long without nourishment. The
animal was taken home on a
wagon and fed very sparingly.
Not till the third day did it show
signs of recovery. It was nearly
dried up. It is reported to re-
cover rapidly now and is able to
stand in a sling. At present
prices of beef this is well worth
the trouble.
