A terrible aud what proved to be
fatal accident befell Lloyd, the son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Murdick We'd
nesday. 1t seems a straw stack had
been burning and Lloyd walked up
on what be thought was a snow drift
at the edge of the pile, but which
proved to be only a thin covering Of
ice and snow above the burning straw,
and which gave way letting him into
the fire. His lower limbs were badly
burned and his face blistered. DIR.
Dyar was called immediately and the
little fellow was made as comfortable
as possible. but he suffered terrible
agony. His condition through the
night and in the morning gave hopes
that he would recover, but the burns
were OF too serious a nature for his
constitution to withstand and he
| died at about three o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. The death Of a loved
one is, under any circumstances a $ q
we're blow Lut death in such a way is
sadbeyond expression. In this hour of
bereavement the heartfelt sympathy
of al is extended to the sorrowiug
parents.
