John Gregory Dead.

As was expected little John Gregory
died Tuesday. In the morning he ap-
peared to be very weak and it was then
evident that death was gradually max
ing its approach. At 1890 the little
spirit took its flight and left only the
body to the muurning relatives. From
the first there Was hardly the slightest
chance OF his recovery, but where there
is lifa mere is hope. John was pop
ular little character around town and
was known by nearly every body for his
genialgo nature and quick ready wit.
The parents have the deep sympathy
OF the people in their affiiction
and during the brief time since the &C.
cident large number have called at
the home to extend their aid and sym
pathy.
Tuesday afternoon on his return from
Ethan DR.. Crane probed for the ball
that caused the death of the boy. He
stated that he found it on the opposite
side of the head, it having passed up
ward and forward through the brain.

just as the guu.vent off, which action
brought his head up even with the win
dow in the partition, but had he re-
mained seated he thought the ball
would have passed over his head and
imbedded itself in the wall in the north
side of the building. Immediately after
the accident Mr.. Fox locked up the
bowling alley, and stated that he would
keep the business close for few days,
or until the result of the accident
could be told. He also removed the
shooting gallery fixtures and will give
up the idea of running it as was his in
ten ntion.
This morning the Gregory boy re.
gained consciousness and spoke few
words. simply asking for drink of
