their lives. The first happened about
a week ago, in this way. A farmer came
to town to sc: land-roller, which lie
hitcled to his wagon. When about to
stop. several youngsters got OIL the roller
intending to have ride. He warned
them to get oil. but his horses became
impatient started up and one of the chill
dren, II boy about seven years old, the
son of.Mr. Jacob Arnason of this place fell
of, the roller passing over him crushing
his head and body in most horrible
manner. The child expired in twenty
minutes. Tie other. which has just
come to our knowledge. happened at the
place Of Mr.. Gisli Johnson about two
miles north of this place. His son, a
young lad. accompanied by his brother.
about q years old. was leading 81 mule to
water. The little fellow wishing to lead
the animal himself. took hold of the rope
made loop on the end, passing it oyer
his arm. From some cause the mule be.
come unruly, and the child was thrown
under his feet. This frightened the
animal which ran away kicking and drag.
ing the boy oyer halfa mile, where lie
was picked up, an almost unrecogniz.
able mass of bleeding flesh, life being
entirely extinct. Mr.. johnson was away
at the time. and in his absence, the older
boy had often fed aud watcrcd the mule,
who was usually very quiet and appar.
emily harmless. The bcrcaved parents
have the heartfelt sympathy Of all.
