Life Crushed Out.

Crushed beneath q clover-hulling
machine the little daughter of Mrs.
John Dart. who live three miles south
of Geneseo, met her death last Friday
while on her way from school.
The circumstances of the sad affair
are about as follows, says the Geneseo
Arena: After the dismissal of school
at the Liken school house, the chill
dren wendell their way to their vari-
Gus homes. The unfortunate little
girl. in company with a few other
children, overlook the clover hulling
outfit belonging to John Bros, and
children-like wanted to ride; they
were advised tc keep off the machine,
but the advice was not needed and
the children procee led to find seats
on various parts of the machine. Inc
unfortunate little girl seated herself
on the tongue of the clover huller,
which was attached to a traction
engine, and in some manner or other
she fell from her position and the
front wheels OF the machine passed
over her head, crushing it in fright
full manner. She was at once taken
to her home and medical aid sum-
moned; but the injury was fatal and
her young life soon ebbed away.
