From Huron, Randolph comfy, w.
Va, comes news Of one Of the most
peculiar deaths ever chronicled. ia
ccb Doll, q prosperous farmer, who
owns and operates Il farm of III
acres near that place, was the vic
tim and two fighting English spar
rows were the unusual cause of his
death.
Mr.. Doll was sitting asleep in a
large old-fashioned hickory rocking
chair on the front porch Of his house,
with his head tilted back. Suddenly
the two sparrows, which had been
fighting in midair, swooped violently
across the porch and either beak or
talon of one caught in the flesh Of
the sleeping mans neck, tearing Il
large Jagged wound and cutting the
jugular vein.
Blood spurted from the wound, and
by the time Mrs. Doll came to the
porch from the kitchen her husband
lay unconscious on the floor. Eff
forts to check the flow Of blood were
futile and Mr.. Doll expired before a
physician arrived.
