"Drops Dead From Binder"
"Saturday last, Mrs. Boster, who resides in the vicinity of Rolfe, dropped dead from a binder that she was driving. Her husband was shocking and as she turned the horses at a corner he happened to be shocking close by. She laughingly told him that he would have to hurry up for she was getting ahead of him. She swung the horses around the corner and just as they turned she said whoa sharply. He looked up to see what the matter was and saw her sinking in the seat of the binder. He ran to her and caught her just as she fell from the binder but she was dead in a minute. The cause of her death was evidently heart trouble, yet this had never bothered her. It is certainly a sad case. She was a young woman about thirty-five years of age and was the sister of Mrs. Boster, who resides just east of Emmetsburg. Oh we understand that two brothers married two sisters.--Reporter."
