DROWNING OF a LITTLE GIRL
IN A CISTERN IN MILAN.
Her Mother Attempts to Rescue Her,
and Barely Escapes the Same Fate.

A sad accident occurred IN Milan yester-
day afternoon-the 4th-at the residence
ofKestor McMichael. His daughter, Annie
NJ, aged years, was amusing herself in
the kitchen. There was a trap door in the
floor Of the kitchen to cistern beneath,
and ia some unaccountable manner this
door had been moved, so that if any one
stepped upon it it would drop into the
cstern. This proved to be the case; she
stepped upon the door and it fell, and she
was precipitated into the cistern. Her mo-
Their, at work in an adjoining room, heard
the'splash as she struck the water. and she
Immediately sprang to- the rescue. In
her excitement she managed to squeeze
through the small hole and drop into the
water, which reached to her shoulders. In
the darkness, and the cistern being
quite large, the poor mother could not find
her daughter as the little girl had no doubt
received injuries 10 falling, which had rem
dered her unconscious, and her body was
then probably at the bottom of the cistern.
1t would be i'm possible to picture the
suffering and anguish of that poor mother
during the time she was in the cistern.
She does not know herself how long she
remained in the water searching for her
drowned darling, nor how she climbed out
of the cistern-but she managed to get out
and in doing so scratched and bruised her
face, hands and person severely. And
from appearances had barely escaped
drowning herself in her vain attempts to
save her child. Wet. bruised, bleeding
aud wild with anguish Mrs McMichae
managed to reach the house of Mr., Lloyd
neighbor.-toid him what had hap
pened-and then she tainted.
The body was recovered by Mr. LloyC
but all attempts at resuscitation wer,
futile.
Acting Coroner Hayden was notified
and went out to Milan this forenoon an,
summoned the following jury: JacoI
Adams, foreman; august Eisenhardt, J
P. Brennan, Ben. G. Frysinger, W 10. Kerr
David Coon. j, V. Cook, o. w. Davis, E
