always ready when thrown out in large

A very sad death occurred here
last evening In the person of
Frank S. Banks, the nine-yoar-
old son OF Charley Banks, Esq. Frank
was attending the city school and while
PLAYING with the crowd ot boys last Mon.
day received heavy blow from rock,
thrown by some OF his playiellows, which
struck him on the right temple. The
wound was stunning at first and painful,
but was not regarded as dangerous until
yesterday, when commissions ensuod, and
the bright little boy was compelled 10
yield up the lie that was so fun OF hope
aud promise IN the future, His parents
have the profound sympathy OF the com
munity. The sad seqncl 10 this reckless
act Is a fearful lesson TO bad boys, and
we trust they may give II heed,
