One of the saddest OF accidents occurred in
woodlotin Berlin on Saturday when Frank,
the thirteen.year-old son of Danforth Mar
tin, who resides at the Pioneer village, met
with sudden and shocking death. The
young lad accompanied Homer, his elder
brother, to the wood-lot for the purpose of
drawing load home. After arriving the
work OF loading the team was begun, when
IL was found that some OF the sticks OF wood
were frozen together. Homer took his axe
to separate them. When the axe struck
the wood it glanced, the force OF the blow
wrenched the handle from his hands and
the blade struck Frank, who was near by,
in the throat, severing the jugular vein.
He expired almost instantly. The lifeless
body was conveyed to the fathers home
The family is Frustrated by the little fell
lows sad death. The brothers. grief is
most pitiable, as he was more closely allied
with the horror Of the accident, although he
is entirely blameless in the matter. The
family has the sincere sympathy of the com.
munity.

into the river, but Engineer
Whelan kept his head and succeeded in
bringing his train TO dead stop without
suffering any damage outside OF the incOn-
venience of delay after running on the
ties distance of several car lengths. AL |
