Distressing Accident and Sad Death.

fACtsuoas ee'hA $500
A distressing accident with fatal
results occurred at Assawaman on
Friday of last week. On that day.
Roland. aged eight years, son of Mr..
George R. Mock. was riding one horse
and leading another, when the latter
became frightened, and pulling back,
caught the halter in some way that
cannot be accounted for in double
hitch around the arm of the boy. In
that condition the little fellow, being
pulled off the horse and unable to
release himself, was dragged to his
death by the horse and mutilated
almost beyond recognition before as
sistance could be given him. He was
dead when the horse was caught,
with neck and back broken. He was
buried on Sunday afternoon, after a
funeral sermon by Rev. E. F. Garner.
Every one in that community in
some way have endeavored to show
their sympathy to the parents of the
child in their great distress.
