DROPS DEAD.
While Looking ut the Corpse Of a
Drowned Baby.

In Dunklin Township, in Green
vile County, three miles from Green
vile, the l-year-Old child Of Joe Say
les, colorcd, fell into Il tub which
drowned. The child's mother had
left it alone TO go into the house and
when she returned it was dead.
The news quickly spread through
the ne%ighborhood and a number If
people gathered at the house, among
them Joe Jordan, the ~18-year-old
son of MIR. j. b. Jordan. He walked
up to the tub, in which the child had
been drowned, looked at it and drop
ped dead.
Mr.. Jordan says his son had a mar

OF the negro child's death caused a
shock to his system which resulted
