A CHILD's HORRIBLE DEATH.
Annie Murray Dashed To Death in the
Shifting of n Saw-MiIL

CINCINNATI, June 26.-Annie Murray, aged
10 years, the bright little daughter of Mrs.
Mary Murray, widow, residing on Goodloe
street, in Fulton Ky, met with a horrible
accident which resulted in her death half an
hour later
Since school closed, it has been customary
for the child to stand and watch the revolv-
ing machinery in Hunter a. Coles saw-mill,
at Goodloe and Litherbury streets. She ven
tured beyond the line allowed for visitors, and
almost before any one knew it, she was
caught between the cogs, and an instant later
she was being whirlet around by the shaft
at the rate of thirty revolutions per minute.
The machinery was stopped as quickly as
possible and the child removed unconscious
10 her home around the corner, where she
died in half an hour from the effects Of a
fractional skull, sustained from striking the
joists overhead.
