A little son of the Rev. B. c. Spill
Ter, of the Methodist church near
Richmond, Va, met with a terrible
death June 10. A man was hauling
manure from the barnyard to the
field with an OK team, and while he
was in the rear of the wagon loading
the child went in front of the OK, hav-
ing in his hand a large red handker-
chief. The OK seeing this become
maddened, and dashed at the little fel-
low and gored him. The man ran to
rescue the child from the infuriated
animal, but before he reached him the
OK broke and ran, trampling the child
under its feet, and turning suddenly
in annother direction, brought the
child into the track of the cart-wheels,
which passed over him and crushed
him to death.
