Hoyt, the l9-months' old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Benz Huston was
drowned about 10 o'clock Thursday
morning by falling head-hrst into
key partially filled with water. A
small toy drum was found in the key
and it is supposed the little fellow had
dropped the plaything in and on try
ing to get it fell into the receptacle.
! There was only sufficient water to
cover the child's head and why his
movements did not up set the key
and save his life by spilling the watei
seems strange. The father of the
child was away at the time and the
mother was about her household du.
ties, thinking her two little ones were
playing safely in the door yard. The
discovery was made by the other
child, little boy of FIVE years, who
pulled his little brother out before
running to call his mother. THE
frantic mother ran to a neighbours
house with her lifeless little one in
her arms, where every possible effort
vas put forth to resuscitate the child
DR.. Cole was called and arrived in
about half an hour after the accident
happened. No sign of life could be
| revived and It was the opinion of the
| doctor that life was extinct when the
| body was found by the little brother.
The father was reached by telephone
and was with the mother at the bed
side of the child when the doctor an
nounced that reSuScitation was I'm
| possible. 1t is the prayer of all who
witnessed this scene when the young
parents realized that all was done that
could be done for their darling, thar
they may never be called upon to
bear and live through greater sor-
row, for this was too great for human
strength alone. The funeral took
