Little Lee Nash, Oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Nash, of Dis
appointment, met death yesterday
afternoon about > o'clock in a very
sad way. He was at the home of
Jas. Belmer and he and Little Jim
were playing together beside high
bank, when from some cause it
caved in and caught Lee under it,
entirely covering him to a depth of
perhaps three feet. Jimmie Belmer
was caught by both feet and got
cut only by pulling of one boot and
gave the alarm as soon as possible.
1t took three men about 20 minutes
to uncover the body and life was
extinct. Death must have been in
stantaneous, as he fell with his face
down with perhaps two ton OF dirt
covering him. Lee was a bright
little fellow and his untimely death
casts a gloom OF sorrow over all his
relatives and friends. His heart
broken mother and father came in
this morning from Durango and
were met here by W. w. Dunlap
and Clint Smith, who brought in
the sad news. A host of friends
extend sincere sympathy to the
parents and relatives in their be-
reavement.
