has reached here from Madison county,
telling Of the sad death of the four
children Of family named Wilson, IN

OF them from the bite of Il rattlesnake
and the other by drowning. The sad
affair occurred few days ago. Mrs.
Wilson went to a spring near the house
for water, taking the baby with her.
She had left the house but short time
when screams attracted her attention,
and Fastening there found two of her
children dead and the third one sick.
The little fellow, however, was able to
talk, and said they had poked their
fingers through crack in he floor ana
hen under the house had bitten them.
Mrs. Wilson hurried back to the spring,
and there found that her little baby
had craWled into the spring and been
drowned. When the mother returned
to the house she found tho little hoy
also dead. Some time later. the father
returned. Search WAS made, and a
huge rattlesnake was found under the
