buried a child, and with a younger
babe, the mother visited the grave to
weep and pray. While thus engaged
IL tree near by, rotten at the roots, fell
upon the weeping and PROSTATE moth
err. Men near by heard the crash and
ran to the woman's aid, to find that
she had gone to meet her dead child.

this morning. The mother and child
will be buried beside the grave on
which they died. She left husband

lose by an attempt to escape.
