Special to the Times:
Lake George, July 17- Mrs. Mary Thelen was killed yesterday in Belgrade by the east bound flyer.

The force of the train and the wind from the west threw her off the platform and under the wheels of the moving train. She was killed instantly. Mrs. Thelen was 64 years old. She leaves nine children to mourn her untimely death. They are John, in Melrose; Joseph, White Earth; Jacob, Hubert and Martin, of this town; Mrs. Christ. Seifermann of Spring Hill; Mrs. Peter Seifermann, of Spring Lake, Alberta; Mrs. Peter Kirkes, and Anna, who has her home with her brother at White Earth.
