Lucille and Mary Daley, Two Little Maple Grove Girls in One Family, Took Away Two of My Dollies Today.
(By Doll Lady)
So infatuated were little Lucille and Mary Daley in my dollies that nothing would do but that they each had to have one, though they are sisters. They felt that there are times when both might want to play with the dollie at the same time and so rather than have any conflict on dates they persuaded their mother and father to get one for each of them. And today the family came in and made the selection. Lucille, aged 6 selected a dollie with a yellow dress, blue eyes and black hair. She will call her dollie "Audrey May."
Mary's dollie is one with a blue dress and brown hair and blue eyes and her name is to be "Donna Jule."
Won't the two little dears have just the best time possible with their two dollies? What happy hours are in store for them.
Lucille and Mary are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Daley of Maple Grove.

BERNARD WAGNER

AGED MAN DEAD RESULT OF FALL
Bernard Wagner, 73, Falls from Scaffold and Breaks Neck
FALLS OFF BUT SIX FEET
Was At Work at Sloan Livery Barn Putting New Ceiling in Building -- Lived Here Many Years
Falling from a scaffold, Bernard Wagner, an aged resident of the city, was killed while at work as a carpenter at the Sloan Livery barns on Quay Street this afternoon, death resulting from a broken neck which the unfortunate man sustained when he fell. Mr. Wagner was 73 years of age and had resided in the city for a long term of years, the family home being on Madison Street between Fourteenth & Fifteenth Streets. A wife and family of children survive.
Death was instantaneous and a  mark on the neck where the unfortunate man struck when he fell is the only evidence of the injury. Mr. Wagner was at work on the scaffold in tearing out and replacing a board ceiling and at the time of the accident was engaged in removing a board. He had used a chisel in an attempt to pry loose a board and was warned that the work was dangerous. The chisel slipped and Wagner lost his balance, falling backward from the scaffold, striking the structure as he fell and then plunging to the floor. Bystanders rushed to the aid of the aged man but found him dead. The scaffold was but six feet from the floor. Mr. Wagner was a pioneer resident and was well known in the city. He had retired from active pursuits but frequently employed his time in carpentering for friends. The body was taken in charge by a son, John Wagner, who is employed at the Boiler Works and was removed to the home. An inquest may be held.

An accident with a fatal outcome occurred in our city Saturday afternoon. Bernhard Wagner, an elderly resident of Manitowoc (he is 73), cabinet maker by trade, gave up his business several years ago but still does odd jobs here and there. He was busy Saturday afternoon repairing a wooden ceiling in the office of the Sloan Loan Co. on "K" Street. He stood on a scaffolding only 6 ft. high and tried to loosen a board with a chisel. The board suddenly gave way and Mr. Wagner lost his balance and fell from the scaffolding. He fell backwards and hit his neck in such a way that it broke, causing his death. Others nearby tried to help, but he was already dead. His son was notified at work in the boiler factory, and he arranged to have the body brought to the house. Mr. Wagner was a long-time resident of Manitowoc and was well thought of in the city.
