CHILD DROWNED IN A TUE
Seventeen Months Old Son OF foIicc--
man Ii. r.. Merritt Meets Dcath III
"A Peculiar Manner

Little II. P. Merritt, Jr., son Of MI.
n. P. Merritt, who is a member of the
Wilmington police force, was drowned
Yesterday morning by falling into a
half barrel which was partially filed
with water. The child was dead when
found.
The little child had wandered out in
the yard to play and in ten or fifteen
minutes after he left the house he was
missed by his mother who went to
look for him and to her horror she
found the body of her beloved and only
child lying still in death. She grasped
the lifeless form to, her bosom n
rushed into the house, not daring to
believe that her little n was dead,
but alas, ere she reached him the soul
of the innocent babe, who was only II
months old, had flown TO its maker.
Kind neighbors heard her cries Of grief
and rushed to the house and every
thing possible was done to allay the
grief of the heart-broken parents.
Soon after the child was carried into
the house DR.. Bell was summoned but
he found not trace of life. The water
in which the child was drowned was
not more than IS inches in depth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt have the deep
est syspathy of the entire community
in their great sorrow. Death is at all
times sad, but is more 81 when it
comes in such an unexpected manner.
The blow must have indeed been an
awful one to the parents of the child,
to see him bright and playful, and in
less than half an hour to see it's little
form still in death.
TIE remains will be carried to Still
Bluff this morning where they will be
laid to rest.

cisco and New York, who has been
n this state on business connected
with its characteristic industry, re-
turned from Bnllfrog Friday, where
he went on a visit combined with
business and to inform himself as

the Salt Lake Herald. In the course
Of his remarks Mr.. Prentiss ex
pressed himself as follows: What
the Bullfrog country, in my estima-
nation, needs, is not q but many
custom mills. 1t is the greatest low
grade country on the face OF the
earth, | honestly believe. People

methods for its development. There
are whole mountains of ore in the
Bullfrog country running from s. Il
$50 a ton. When capital takes holt
of them there will be millions upoi
millions Of dollars taken out, and
mining country second to non in tn
world will bid for the favor OF th
man who wishes to put his money in
to pure propositions.
