Death by Accident.

Ed Worstell Of Tammany, who was
working for Hank Trimble, was killed
by the overturning Of his wagon, dying
Thursday morning at 1890.
The young man had been to Vineland
after a load Of turnips and carrots for
feed for Tremble's cattle when the wagon
upset on grade caught him under the
load and held him there. He remained
under the weight over al hours through
cold night and was not only crushed
badly but was frozed as we'll.
When he was discovered and rescued
by Steven IIepton he was paralyzed but
conscious and said he was not seriously
injured. He did not complain Of pain
and refused to have doctor called. He
grew worse Wednesday after lying from
Sunday I'LL that time without realizing
that he was seriously injured.
On Wednesday he began vomiting from
internal hemorrage. He was also suffer
ing from paralysis which he though,
was only nunbness caused by the
cold and the temporary suspense ot cir
culation.
He was attended by DIR. Whitford who
was unable to relieve the serious de-
rangements and death followed next
morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Trimble afford
ing every care possible during the young
mans affiiction.
The body was brought to Lewiston
