A FIve-Year- Old Boy OF ChAs. EIkey Is

LAST evening about six o'clock tiVt-
year-old son of CSas Eikey who resides at

tric motor came along. The little fellow
made dash to run across the street in
trent of the motor, but he was just a little
too late, and the car struck him ard
knocked him violently to the track.
When the motor had passed, the coz
ductor, operator, and several passengers
ran back TO where the inanimste form Of
the child lay on the track. He was picked
CD tenderly and carried ID the residence of
parents, and DR.. Stathers called. After
making an examination it was found that
the child's left thigh was torn three
fourths of the way around, the cash bsing
about four inches wide. 1t was evident
that the wheels had not passed over
him, but that his body was caught by the
pIopslling chain and crushed. Internal
injuries had been sustained about the
bowels, which resulted in the child's death
at 1880 o'clock, after terrible suffering.
II is unde stood that no blame can be
attached TO The operator on the motor, be-
cause ne could rot possibly have stopped

Quite scene occurred at the west end
of the suspension bridge last Wednesday,
just at dusk, that might have resulted in
more serious consequences, but that one Of

Some years ago sprightly young man
now doing business in a small wy on the

this swain would have eliminated in the

Then her blood was up. The love that
made her the gentle, confding creature
suddenly changed into hate that infuri-

a good eizsd stick hidden in the folds of her

her happiness. She hadn't long to wait.
The man soon hove il view with his wife
