mains of their child to rest in the ceme~

moved bridge Mr.. Kurtz preceded Mr..
and Mrs. Heath with lantern to see
that they got over the creek safely. They
made the passage in safety and were part
of the way up the opposite bank when the
team stopped and began backing. One of
the forward wheels turned under the
wagon and overturned it, and together
the occupants, wagon and team dashed
over an embankment fifteen feet in
height Mr. KurtZ at once went
to the assistance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Heath. The couple were dragged from
beneath the wreck and conveyed to the
residence of Mr.. KurtZ. DR.. Matthews
was at once summoned, and after an ex-
animation it was found that both Mr.. and
Mrs Heath had sustained serious inter-
nal injuries. Mr.. Heath had received the
most serious injuries. The proper meth
