Mrs. Edward Kleise of Enterprise, Roberts county, was drowned last Thursday in a most peculiar way. It seems she had accompanied her husband after a load of hay and when crossing a turnpike across a slough, the load tipped over and Mrs. Kleise fell under it in a ditch in which was three feet of water and before her frantic husband could extricate her she had drowned.

She came over from Germany about a year ago and had only been married a few months.
