CALLED TO JUNCTION
L. E. Miller was called to Junction, Monday, by the death of his twelve year old nephew Hobert Jobes. Hobert together with his brother and one other boy were bringing a cedar post Sunday afternoon for the purpose of putting up basketball posts. The post was about 18 feet long and very heavy. Hobert was coming up from the rear and seeing that his younger brother who was carrying one end was about to drop it, rushed up to help him. His brother at the same time not knowing of his brothers approach threw the post off his shoulder striking Hobert on the side of his head crushing the skull and breaking his neck. He died early Monday morning and the funeral was held that afternoon.
