CRUSHED HIM TO DEATH
The Six-Year-O Old Son of David Mer-
rift Killed by an Acct
dent.
A Brick Wall Fell Over on the
House During the
Storm.
Another Son Sleeping in the Same Room
Has u Narrow Escape From
Sudden Death.

A peculiar accident happened on Water
street last night, in which the six-year-olG
son of David Merritt lost his life by being
crusned to death under a falling roof. The
family of five, except one, were in bed al
1916. when the accident occurred. Mr..
Merritt lives in a two-room one-story
frame building at $40 Water street.
South of the building a two
story brick tenement is in process
of construction. The upper Part of the
wall, about six feet away from the
frame building, toppled over during a
strong gust of wind which blew down the
gulch, crushing in the roof in the rear of
the frame. The little fellow, who was in
the rear room with an elder brother, was
buried under a pile OF brick. lath-
ing and plaster. A daughter, aged about
II, was just undressing as the roof
fell. The shook and her screams aroused
the family. Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt, who
sleep in the front room, Immediately began
pulling the debris from over their boy.
When taken out he was still grooming. Dr..
Rockman reached the house very soon after
the accident. but by this time the boy was
hand to resuscitate him. Another physi-
clan came shortly afterwards and
worked over the lifeless form for nearly
an hour with electric batteries. 1t was a
sad scene in the front room where the little
body of Grover Cleveland Merritt lay. The
father called upon the physicians and neigh
bors to save his boys lie. His grief over
came him and at times he made wild
threats in case he found the owner of the
brick tenement. He said if he had had
help sooner the boys life could have been
saved. Mr.. Merritt's residence is on
a portion of Water street not much fire.
qEented at night, and it was some time
before any one came in response to his calls
for help. A neighbor named Smith was
the first to appear. He and Merritt cleared
away the mass of brick and mortar which
covered the child.
Mr.. Merritt's Oldest boy, aged about 1S,
was sleeping in a bed close to the north
wall of the building, several feet away
from his little brother. A section of the
ceiling fell in a slanting direction over his
bed. This formed a sort of shelter, and
prevented the mass of brick from burying
him. He was not injured in the least.
Coroner Rockman and a jury went to
Mr.. Merritt's house at 1880 last night.
They looked at the remains and took the
names of witnesses. The features of the
boy were composed as if in sleep, but over
the ribs there were red spots showing where
the heavy weight had rested which crushed
his life. The inquest will be held at
the court house at two p. m. to-day.
