Herman Bonine Was Fatally Injured Near Petoskey

He Died at the Hospital in Big Rapids and His Remains Have Been Brought to This City

Herman Bonine was killed by the falling of a tree, which he was sawing in the woods near Petoskey. Mr. Bonine was the oldest son of Cristian Bonine of this city. He had spent most of his life in this city and left for the woods last fall, returning for a visit a few weeks ago.

The accident was occasioned by the splitting of a tree he was sawing down, one of the pieces striking him in the left side and hurling him to the ground. He was taken to the Sisters of Mercy hospital at Big Rapids, where he died Tuesday night, after lingering 11 days. The body was brought to this city this morning and the funeral will be held at the residence of Christian Bonine, 520 W. Madison street, at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. Bonine was 36 years of age and unmarried. He was exceedingly handy with his hands and there was hardly anything which he turned his hands to that he could not do. He had many friends here.
