purchase meat for the Sunday dinner,
intending to walk back to Laddsdale
as he expected to play in game OF
ball between the boys Of that place
and Floris that afternoon and could
not wait for the train returning.
He was last seen alive by some
Floris boys as he started on the rail-.
road track towards Laddsdale and
called to the boys, saying. Il will get
to Laddsdale before you fellows as !
am going to hurry" When he did
not arrive at home when expected.
his mother becoming anxious, te!e-
phoned to relatives west of Floris,
thinking he might have gone there.
Finding he was not there, the father
of the child, coming from his work
at the mines by this time began
searching for him going to the
bridge but failed to see the body.
He was joined later by five of his
neighbor men with lanters searching
both the wagon road and railroad into
Floris and all returning by way OF
the railroad, searching both sides OF
the track, When they reached
Laddsdale 1t was near one o'clock.
They then decided to give up the
search until daylight.
The father being 30 anxious and
worried could not wait for his helpers
but started alone at daybreak, going
again to the railroad bridge, his little
dog running ahead; when he reached
the bridge on looking below he saw
the dog with the little boys cap In
mis- mouth, going then to the other
side Of the bridge; he was Mortified to
see the dead body of his little boy ~
ing In the water below. He called for
help but could make no one hear and
feeling as though he could not leave
him he carried him ns far as the
switch yards at Laddsdale, when he
saw the mother coming he called tc
her, telling ner the boy was dead and
to get help.
An inquest was held and the. deci'
sion was reached that the boy while
hurrying across the bridge, stumbled
falling off the side striking his head
on rock below which stunned him
and he rolled into the water and
4 drowning before becoming conscious

dangle for a few seconds among the
slender steel strands and then crash

wire.
