well of North Fryeburg, was instantly
killed. He and his mother had driven
to the village and their carriage was
standing in front Of the store of Mrs. M.
B. Barker. Another team, consisting
of horse and cart, that was stationed
near 8 The Oxford" became frightened
from the breaking of some part of the
harness and started to run away In his
flight, this horse, which is totally blind
smashed into low, large window of the
store and ran into the other team. The
young Lad hurried out of the store to look
after his own horse. In his way down the
walk, he tripped, it is supposed, on a
wire trellis, and then fell so that the
hub Of one Of the wheels of the run away
team struck his head with such force as
to crush the skull and cause instant
death. He was about IA years of age and
was a bright promising scholar. He
was great comfort to his parents, who
have been made almost insane by the sud

deep gloom was cast over the entire COM
munity by the accident The funeral
services were held on Sunday afternoon
and were conducted by Rev. B. N. Stone
