Dragged to His Death.

Eugene Young, aged about fifteen years,
was dragged to his death by yearling
heifer he was leading last Sunday morn
ing, at West Gouldsboro. The boy had
the rope wound about his wrist, and
being thrown to the ground was unable
to regain his footing. He was dragged
along the road and in the bitches about
300 yards.
When discovered by George Hanna, the
rope was still attached to his wrist and to
the heifer. Life was extinct. The skulY
was crushed, and the face was cut and
bruised beyond recognition. 1t was
necessary to cut the rope from the boys
wrist, about which it was wound tightly
The body was taken TO the home Of
Calvin Bunker, for whom the boy WAS
working, and on Monday was removed to
the home of the boys parents at Goulds-
boro, where the funeral will be held.
