KILLED BY A FALLING TREE
EImore T. Clifton, of EIlenboro,
Stricken Down Friday.

Gilmore Clifton, a we'll known Ell.

morning by being thrown to the ground
and caught under falling tree.
Mr. Clifton was at work with his
son Edward on the farm belonging to
the latter. The two we're engaged in
chopping down two Eastwood trees
which the father intended using in
the manufacture Of gate pickets at the
Ellenboro saw mill.
One tree which had been felIed
had caught in the branches of
another which stood nearby. The
second Eastwood which they chopped
down soon afterward fell in such
manner as to cause the first to spring
and knock Mr.. Clifton to the ground
Immediately under the other tree.
His son went to his aid Immediate
ly and extricated him. Mr.. Clifton
arose saying that he thought he was
not hurt much, but suddenly dropped
lifeless into his sons arms.
The latter after fruitless attempts
at resuscitaiton carried his father to
the wagon and drove to his home
Dr. Fowler, of this city, was in
sanity summoned but could do moth
ing to bring the man back to life
With the exception of small red
spot below the heart there were no
bruises or Commissions to indicate the
exact cause Of Mr. Clifton's death
He is survived by wife, two sons,
Edward and George, Of Ellenboro,
and one daughter, Mrs. Danial Rod
dick. of Ellenb orc. He was 81 years
old at the time of his death.
Funeral ervices were held Sunday

staff, had in the meantime entered
the fort with a handk erchief struck on

HUNG HIMSELF IN THE BARN
Suicide of William Bennett, a
Little Grant Farmer.

William Bennett, a we'll known
resident Of Little Grant, committed
suicide early yesterday morning by
hanging himself to a rafter IN the
barn.
The motive that led to the act is
unknown. Mr.. Bennett had arisen
early and had busted himself doing
the chores. He seemed to be in his
usual health and spirits and had moth
ing so far as is known chat would
cause worry or melancholy.
His prolonged absence from the
house at breakfast time led his son to
90 in search of him, the former fear
ing that perhaps his father had been
kicked by a horse or met with scme
other serious accident. He found
him as above stated hanging to a
rafter above the oat bin. Death was
perhaps almost instantaneous.
Doctor J. g. Doolittle was sum-
moned but nothing could be done in
the way Of medical aid.
Mr.. Bennett was the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Bennett Of this city. He
was about 50 years old and had spent
the greater part Of his life in this
city or vicinity. Besides his parents
he is survived his one brother,
Richard, two sisters. Anna and Mrs.
NJ. Wanezek, a wife and son and
daughter. He was member of the
/. o. o. f. and at the time Of his
death was noble grand of the Lancas-
ter lodge. Funeral arrangements have
not been made at this writing
