Tree.

The news reached this cit
this morning of a sad accident
which occurred about six miles
east at II p. m. yesterday. Mr..
Oscar E. Burton was engaged in
telling timber on his farm about
2Oo'yards from his house, when in
saving down tree, the wind car
rled it in an opposite direction
from that which it was expected to
fall. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Burton saw his danger when it
was too late, as he was nearly out
of reach of the falling tree when
one of the larger limbs struck him
on the back of the head and be-
tween the shoulders, killing him
instantly.-Moberly Republican.
