BOY 'SSKULL- CRUSHED
Little Ambrose Hill Caught
Under a Mass of Fall
ing Lumber.

Ambrose F. Hill, the 3syear-old son OF
Ambrose P. Hill Sr., and the late Annie
Burke, was accidentally killed yesterday:
afternoon about 4:45 o'clock by pile OF
lumber falling upon him at the lumber
wards of Carneal & Davis No. 1926 Tay-
lor street.
The boy had returned from school and
gone out to play. The afternoon being
cod, some larger buys had built small
fire, and Hill, together with his older
brother. a youth of IL years. and some
other small boys, were sent to the lumber
yard to gather chips, under threat that
if they did not get them hey could not
stay around he fire.
Ambrose's brother. John, and another
boy, were on the top of pile OF lumber
while Ambrose was beneath 1t gathering
chips. The lumber was not piled UNI
formly and the two boys upon it jolted it
so that it fell upon Ambrose, crushing IN
the right side of his skull.
Death was instantaneous, the boy never
knowing what had happened. The other
boys were horror-stricken, and knew not
what to do. The city ambulance was
called but the body was beginning to
grow cold in the extremitles when sur
Seon Latimer arrived.
Coroner Taylor viewed the remains. but
deemed an inquest unnecessary. Ihe
body was taken in charge by Undertaken
Bliley TO prepare for burial.
Ambrose was the second Of three boys,
the older being 10 years of age and the
younger years. The mo,ner has been
dead two years; the father is heart
broken over the death OF his son, VINO
was an exceedingly bright boy. The
grief at the home, 105 Reservoir street,
last night was intense.
The father is machinist at the Loco
motive Works, and until recently lived
on north Fifth street.
