Calvin Richards, fourteen years of
age, son of Mr.. VIM. HI Richards, re-
siding at 102 East South street, this
city, was run over by heavy hay
press on Wednesday of last week and
was so badly crushed that he died the

ing his brother-in-law, Mr.. Landlord
Taylor, of Utica, this county, who
was removing the hay press from an
adjoining farm to his own, the boy
being along with the party. He got off
the press to walk up hill and in some
way accidentally fell under the ma
chine, the front wheel of which passed
over his breast, crushing it horribly.
He was eXtricated assoOn as possible and
given medical attention, but his injuries
were beyond the skill of the ply
stefan and death resulted from internal
hemorrhages. He remained conscious
until death relieved his sufferings, not
withstanding his terrible shock. His
remains were brought to this city and
taken to his home, from whence the
funeral took place oniSaturday after

Narrow Escape From Drowning

Milo, an adopted son of DR.. L. Nj.
Zimmerman, of Myersvile. this
county, made narrow escape from
drowning, on Monday of last week.
Milo is the two-year old son of Rev.
H. e Zimmerman, of Tannersville,
Pa, who after the death of his mother
was adopted by his grandfather, DIR. L.
M. Zimmerman. The child was play
ing about the yard and attempted to
walk over the screen covering of the
cistern, which broke, precipitating
him into about five feet of water. For
tunately his absence from the house
was discovered and DR.. Zimmerman
started in search of him. Seeing the
broken screen over the cistern, he look
ed in and was shocked to see the boy
floating on the water, face up. The
Doctor called for help and leaped into
the cistern. Both the child and the
Doctor were assisted out and the work
of resuscitation commenced. The little
boys face was black and it was at first
thought he could not be saved, but he
was gradually restored to consciousness.
When Miss Edith Zimmerman learned
of tue accident she tainted, still further
adding to the excitement.

by fire, in this city, states that he is
waiting for a visit from the insurance
people before he attempts to clean up
the debris. Mr.. Kuhn thinks lie will
rebuild the brewery, but will not likely
do so before next fall. Should he re-
build, he will make considerable changes
in the construction of the building,
which will likely face ON West All
Saints street instead of Brewers alley.
The old building was one of the land
marks of the city, dating back f;t Their
than the recolections of the oldest citi-
lens of Frederick. Mr.. Kuhn has been
unable to secure the watch and chain
and one hundred dollars which were
taken from the house during the time

friend and associate.
