thought that at a proper depth he
could find gold and silver; this prov

lily (ranging from two to six years
old went out Sunday afternoon to
play near the house. A large pine
tree had been blown down and they
were playing around in the hole
made by the roots being torn up.
The afternoon passed and at night
the children were missed. The pa
rents instituted search and soon
found them lying near the roots Of
the fallen tree. The two younger
ones were dead and the eldest was
in a dying condition. Upon invest
igation it was found that the children
had all been bitten by rattlesnake
which had made its den under the
roots of the tree. The bodies were
terribly swollen and looked as if they
had been bitten in several different
places. The elder child died during
the night. and the three innocents
we're buried together.
