BELLOWS FALLS NEWS,
BOY KILLED INSTANTLY.

Lee Baker, 8, Crushed Between a
Load Of Lumber and a Telephone
Pole-Two Other Boys Ridino with
Him Escaped.

whole community occurred Tuesday

the team suddenly detached itself
from the forward sled by the break

Der slowed heavily against a tele-
phone pole catching the boys body
between the load and the pole, crush
ing him so as to cause death almost
Immediately
Help was at hand quickly but as the
load consisted of very long, heavy
sticks of timber it was impossible to
move them for some time. AS last
resort the horses were brought
around and drew the timbers away
from the pole. The body was ten
derby carried to the grief stricken pa
rents.
The team was one owned by George
Sabin and the driver was in his en-
ploy. No blame whatever is attached
to him as it is said that he had OBJ
jected to the boys getting on, and
they did it against his wishes.
The other two boys were Jack Dun
lap and Earl Chandler. Lee was
member of Miss Young's third grade
in No. 2 school building.
The funeral was held this after
noon at two o'clock at the home of

was fatally burned this afternoon. The
house was not set on fire as the flames
