CHILD DROWNED
Arthur Five Year Old Son Of Mr. and
Mrs. F. /. 6ottum

one of the saddest accidents to oc-
cur I'm this town in some time was the
Wednesday afternoon about
8 o'clock Of Arthur the five year old
son of Mr. and Mrs Fred H. Bottum
Of South street, by falling into the
raceway running in the rear Of what
Is known as the DR. GoOdall place near
the y. NJ G. A.
Another boy about his own age was
with the Bottum child when the acct
dent happened and gave the alarm.
Soon a large crowd gathered at the
Adams mill to which the stream leads
and in the rear Of the opera house
where there is another opening I'm the
trunk. After the child had probably
been in the water over 20 minutes he
appeared in the last mentioned open
ing and was seized by Augustus
Poucher of the south part of the town
and pulled out
Two physicians, Dr. j. r. Wilson
and Dr. w. p. Putnam were summon
ed and worked on the boy for nearly
two hours but all attempts to revive
him proved futile Considering the
length Of time he was IN the water
and the fact that the flume was COM
pletely filled with water, the child was
undoubtedly dead several minutes be-
fore being taken from The water.
AT the place where the accident oc-
Cured there is an opening in the
trung through which residents In the
vicinity drew water for horses, etc
Once upon a time this was covered
with trap door and locked On the
day of the accident and for several
months previous the door was com
pletely on and the wood to which II
was fastened all rotted il is suppOs
ed that the child was playing near
the opening and either broke through
the rotten board or approached toe
near the opening and fell in Sine,
| Wednesday the opening has been Sc
curely boarded up to prevent further
accidents
