Boy MangIed
To Death This Morning
at B0Wen's Mill

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise
The little six year old son OF
Louis Oliver, of Abbeville, was
horribly mangled and crushed
this morning at Bowen's Mill.
The little fellow had come there
with his parents and other mem
bers of the family for a days out
ing and was playing around the
mill pond. He tried to walk
across the mill race on beam
lying across it and lost his balance
and fell into the water. The current
ran swiftly toward the wheel and
he was carried into it. The body
became lodged in the wheel in
such a manner as to stop the mill
and could not be removed until
the bearings had been loosencd.
Many rushed to the scene and
frantically worked to get the little
unfortunate child out. Death had
been instantaneous.
The parents are frantic with
grief.
