of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Kaminski of

Atchison avenue, Robertsdale, passed
away on Thursday, after suffering
considera BILE pain for several weeks.
The circumstances of the case are
very queer. About five months ago,
the little fellow In falling. scratched
his knee on nail The wound was
not considered serious at that time.
so little attention was paid to 1t.
A few weeks later his leg began to
swell and troubled him considerable.
and it was then a physician was called.
The case was at once found to be
blood poisoning in an advanced stage.
The poison went through his entire
system. and his leg swelled to many
times its usual size, and other parts
of his body also showed a gradual in
crease in size.
The physicians on the case all adj
vised the parents to have the boy re-
moved to the hospital, where he would
receive the care which a case of this
kind necessitates.
Is Kept at Home.
The parents. thinking it their duty
to keep the child at home. hesitated
in taking this step. doing all they
could for him, when IN reality it was
not at all the care he should have re
| ceived.
The case kept going from bad to
worse, and the intense suffering of the
child was most pitiable 1t was neces-
sary to lance his leg several times. but
to no avail, and after fighting the bat
tie bravely for a child OF his age, he
| succumbed, suffering terribly, and be-
fore dying he was in great agony, 1t is
| said, he picked off part of his nose.
The parents, although they have
other children in their family. are
grief stricken. as this child is said to
have been exceptionally bright and was
the pet Of the entire household.
The funeral was held this morning
from the Slavish church, interment
taking taking place in St. Johns GEM
