Mr.. Thomas Inge, Of Columbia, S. c., and
granddaughter of Mr.. Henry Harnish, of
Chesterfield county, whose farm is about
nine miles out on the BroadRock road
was kicked in the stomach Monday after
noon by a colt, and died yesterday evening
at 40 o'clock from the injuries inflicted
by the blow.
The death of this child Is one OF the
most distressing known in Chesterfield for
many years. The Harnish family is one
of the best known in the county, and they,
with the grief-strcken father and almost
frantic mother, have the sympathy Of
their neighbors in this dark day. Jessie.
with her mother, had come from South
Carolina to spend the summer with Mr..
Harnish. 1t appears that the child went
into the stable and tried 10 drive the
horses out in play. She went too close TO
a spirited colt and was kicked by the
young animal From the first 1t was seen
that she was badly hurt. DR.. William p.
Mathews, of Manchester, was sent for,
and did all in his power fox his little pa
tent Her injuries, however, were inter-
nal, of the gravest character, and beyond
medical skill
Her father has been telegraphed for and
will arrive this morning. Jessie was the
oldest child and a general favorite. Mr..
Inge was many years resident OF Man
chester being connected with the South
ern railroad as master mechanic.

they had retired some time, every one
was taken violently sick. DR.. T. Il. Rucker

Yesterday morning, before they were out
Of danger. During all yesterday they
