Unfortunate Lad Was a Son Of Mr.
snd Mrs. Samuel Watson.

A tragedy in which 13-year-old
boy lost his life at Cuyahoga Falls oc-
Cured at 43O Friday afternoon.
Robbie Watson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Watson, of Newberry ST., Guy
ahoga Falls, accompanied by two
young school mates-Mles Reed and
Lewis Mellinger--sta after school
was dismissed, to tap some sugar
maple trees growing along the banks
of the river in the Glen" While the
boys were engaged in boring holes in
bank, which was in reality q 75-foot
precipice, Robbie Watson slipped, and
fell to the rocks ut the foot of the pre-
cipice. Death was Instantaneous.
Both legs, both arms and his neck
were broken; there was large hole
puncturcd in his side by the sharp
point of IL rock, and there was also Il
large hole similarly inflicted in the
back of his head.
His companions hastily climbed down
the bank to the spot where their dead
friend lay. They were at first too
badly frightened to know what to do,
but recovering to a realization of the
situation, they both ran to the Wat
son home to break the sad news to the
boys family. Mr.. Watson was work
ing at the Summit County Sewer Pipe
works. He was almost overcome by
the shock, but could not be dissuaded
from going ut once to the spot where
the accident Occurred-half- way be-
tween the "Glen" bridge and the stone
bridge, but a short distance from the
village.
The news of the accident had spread
throughout the entire village, and Cor
oner Leberman was notified. Mr.. Wat
son was accompanied to the place
where his dead son lay by crowd of
100 people, and as the news became
more thoroughly circulated, the crowd
became larger. The boys body was
not removed from the spot where the
accident occurred, until 7:30 o'clock.
This delay was caused by the inabili-
ty of the Coroner to leave Akron at
once for Cuyahoga Falls The little
fellows body was placed on street
cher, and he was carried to the home
of his parents. Work was at once be-
gun to prepare the body for burial.

afternoon at . o'clock. The services
will be conducted by Rev. Robert
Kell rector of st. Johns church.

ICE MEN INTERESTED.

Gardiner. Me-, January 9.-Men inter
ested in the ice business in this section
are discussing the prospect that the
American ice company which now controls
the natural ice product of New York,
Pennsylvania and Maine will be able to
carry out plans which are understood to
be under consideration looking to the
purchase of artificial ice plants in south
ern cities. Maine icemen are advised
that New York investors will take hold
of the movement believing that if the
plants in few of the leading cities are
secured the entire industry could be
combined. The cities which it is pro-
posed to first bring into the combine
are Atlanta, Memphis, Montgomery,
Birmingham, Chattanooga and Nash
vile, the plan being to pay one-third o
the purchase price in cash to each plant
and the balance in stock in the company.

i'll and one of his deputies, who testi-
fed regarding tho arrest of Bugbee and
