DROWNED
10 A Can Of Water Was A
Young Child
Newark Advocate)


Eluding her mother. who was busy
with her sewing, little Elizabeth Tyr
rell, the fifteen-months-old daughter
of Thomas Tyrrell a Baltimore and
Ohio carpenter, wandered into the
yard in the rear of the Tyrrell home
at 6 North Madison street, and
drowned when she fell into large
lard can which was about half full
of water. .g
At about 1916 Friday afternoon the
father was notified and on hurrying
home found his little daughter dead
and his wife prostrated with grief.
Mrs. Tyrrell's nerves have been so
shattered by the terrible experience
that she has lost consciousness sew
eral times and has been able to give
only a brief recital of the tragedy.
According to the mothers story she
was busy with her sewing, but at the
same time was keeping watch Of the
little daughter, who was, amusing her
self in the kitchen. Late In the morn
ing the child became hungry and the
mother went to the kitchen and gave
her a little lunch, after which she re.
turned to her sewing.
A little while later Mrs. Tyrrell
wondered at the silence of the child
and went into the kitchen to investi
gate, only to find that the little girl
had In some manner gotten out of the
room into the yard.
Hurrying into the yard she was hor
rified to discover the body of hel
child lying in the lard can.
1t is probable that the child looked
into the water to amuse herself, and
in SO doing lost her balance and fell
into the can.
The child was taken from the watel
and tenderly carried into the house
but the spark Of life had left the LITTLE
body and all efforts of resuscitatioI
failed.

SUDDEN
Was The Death Of Marion
Bird At Bangs
found Dead 10 A Cora Field
Al Noon Saturday

The body OF Marion Bird, who re.
sided about two miles west Of Bangs
on the Columbus road, was found in
corn field belonging to Mr.. @. w. Bell,
just west Of Bangs, at IL o'clock Satur-
day. He had been cutting corn and
IL thought to have died suddenly of
heart trouble.
When the man did not make his ap-
pearance for dinner at the noon hour
Mr.. Bell and his son Investigated to
learn the cause Of his absence and
found him lying face downward on a
bundle Of loose fodder between the
rows Of corn. From all appearances
he had Just finished cutting an arm
load Of stalks and had started for the
shock near by when he fell forward
still grasping the bundle. Acting
Coroner Deeley and Chappelear's am.
bulance were summoned Immediately
from Mt. Vernon by Mr.. Bell. The ex.
animation of the body showed that no
violence had been committed and there
were no signs Of struggle on the
spot where the body was found.
Mr. Bird had been working for some
time in the employ of Mr.. Bell and
has been cutting corn for the past
several days. He went to work Satur-
day morning as usual at about $3.50
O'Clock apparently in excellent health
and had appeared to be in fine physical
condition all the time that he had been
employed on the Bell fern. Little
corn had been cut in the field Satur.
day morning, however, and this fact
gives reason for the belief that he died
shortly after going to work and that
his body had lain between the rows for
several hours before discovered.
The remains we're removed to the
late home Immediately after the cor.
oner's examination.
Bird was over fifty years Of age and
Is survived by his wife and one daugh'
ter, Mrs. Charles Forsman, Of Mt Yer.
non.

The Falr All The Way Through
Was A Success

The Knox county fair closed Friday
evening after the finest day Of the en-
tire program. The crowd was just
about equal to that of Thursday in
size there being nearly five thousand
paid admissions each of the last two
days Exhibits were marked with
their premium tags and were again
viewed by the throng.
One of the events during the after
noon was the mems drawing for the
two mulefooted pigs that were to be
given away to the man holding the
lucky coupon. After nine tickets had
been drawn and torn up the tenth was
drawn and bore the number 535. The
lucky coupon was held by Paul Ayers
OF Gambler.
The balloon ascension was sSOd
one and took place just before the
drawing. The parachute alighted with.
in only few feet from where the
ascension was made on account Of the
entire absence of breeze. -
The racing was far the best Of the
three days program. The free-for-all
resulted in the only split heats of the
afternoon, but the others were exclt-
ing and were closely contested the en-
tire distance. Major Holland in the
free-for-all was plainly the best horse
In the first two miles of the race and
maintained short lead the entire dis

Their Copy Too Good

Congress decided that the ad writers whose business 1t was to induce enlistments in the navy, had gotten into the habit of writing too alluring copy, and that as a result tbere were too many assertions therefore the Navy depart ment has been without an appropriation this year for a copy writer, and if the signs on the bill boards inviting young men to enlist in the navy are not as attractive as usual 1t will be because the work has been turned over to novi ces, who are more familiar with scuttling ships and shoot ing up foreign ports than writing copy.
