Ole Aslakson, aged about 60 years, an old time resident of Nevada township, fell off of his high box wagon about half a mile south of town on Wednesday afternoon and was killed. He was discovered by little Annie Fink, aged ten years, who was coming along the road.

Aslakson had been in town during the afternoon and started home and later his team was running away. It went home and two of the sons quickly came to look after their father finding him dead. He leaves a wife and a large family of children.
