Three Year Old Son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
e. o. Norton, Suffocates After Drink
ing Quantity Of GasoIine-Happened
This Afternoon

Little John, the three year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Norton died
about 4:30 o'clock this afternoon from
the effects Of drinking a quantity t
gasoline which he found on the back
porch of the Norton home, in the Vir
giniaFlats. The little Lad had been
playing on the porch and while alone,
he managed to get some of the deadly
gasoline and drink it. Mrs. Norton
stepping out onto the porch few
minutes later found her little c1erub
in the throes of the Grim Reaper. He
had become unconscious. and was un-
able to breathe, the gasoline fumes
filling the lungs. Blood was flowing
from the nose. The frantic mother
rushed to the telephone and notified
three doctors who arrived within q
very few minutes When the first
one arrived, the little boy was dying,
and nothing could be done which
The grief stricken mother nearly
lost her reason and it became nec-
essary for the doctor to give attention
to her. She is In quite a serious
condition.
The father. E. D. Norton, is well
known citizen, having resided here
for a number of years. He travels
out from Minot representing the
hardware firm Of Hackett, Walthers
& Gates, and at the time Of the accl-
dent was in Montana. Mr.. Dingma1,
returning from the west today reports
that Mr.. Norton expected to .eave
the railroad this morning for a trip
across the country. and his friends
are experiencing some difficulty IN
locating him
The little boy was fine manly
lad. and would have been three years
Of age Dec. 10, next. He leaves TWO
sisters, Eva and I.orine.
All of N1inot unites in extending
sympathy to the grief stricken mem
hers of the family, and only nope
that they can in way alleviate she
mental anguish which they are SUI
,erino over the terrible ordeal.
Mr.. Norton was located at Culoert-
son late this evening and VIII re'urn
on No. 4, Friday.

it is no better than the Ward county

John doesn't think much of the half

as they are given tho opportunity
and then blow their money. He won.

put out the fire. Word was sent to
Bertho.d and three doctors arrived
within short time. They pronounc-
ed the man dead. The coroner was
notified, and Dr.. Taylor being out
of the city, Judge Murray was sent
out to the farm instead. An inquest
was held, and the jury, consisting OF
G. Barton, c. A. Cochrane and A.
N. Larson. rendered a verdict that
the man had met death by his own
hands.
The gun used is an old style fair,
which Judge Murray now has in his
possession. A soft nosed bullet was
used, and this tore an ugly hole in
his breast. tearing up the floor OF
tho granary badly, also, at the aIot
where the bullet entered. Judge Muir
ray searched the mans room and
found box of shells nearly full.
Brown had placed two OF the shells In
the gun, but had occasion to use but
one of them. He had owned the gun
and shells for some time.
1t is said that he was in his usual
spirits the night before, except that
he was a trifle quiet. He acted per-
fectly rational when he left the hired
man to 80 to the granary.
The deceased had lived on his
homestead for the past ten years. He
Was a model farmer and owned three
quarters Of fine land His home was
one of the finest in the country. He
had held Offices of trust in Foxholm
township, being assessor at one time
He was a Mason, being a member OF
the Berthold lodge. He was wei
liked by everybody.
He leaves two children, eleven and
thirteen years Of age, who have re"
sided with relative in Illinois for sew
eral years. His brother formerly
a resident of the vicinity Of Berthold
now lives in the west.
