was attending to her household duties.
The little one was the two year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Coleman,
who reside on the Miles ranch. Mrs.
Coleman had been kesping a close
watch on her baby as he played about
the door, but her work claimed her at
tention elsewhere for few minutes,
about half hour before noon. The
tot went to water ditch where there
was hole large enough to let a bucket
down and that was usually covered
with lid. The baby fell into the hole
and was drowned, his frail hold on life
being gone beyond resuscitation when
the accident was discovered, though
everything was done that could be
done.
The funeral of the baby was held
