A most distressing accident Occurr
ed near here Friday morning, when
the baby son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Steckleberg was killed by a train. No
body saw the child beforesthe accident
but the little body was found about
three feet from the track, with the
head bruised and one little hand cut
of.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steckelberg live in
what is known as the old Gigax place
which is not very far from the track
Mr.. Steckelberg had to go across the
track to pick his corn and it is sup
posed the baby slipped away to fol
low him. The little one was less than
two years old the first and only child
and the parents are distracted. The
deepest sympathy Of all goes out to
them in their awful bereavement.

Mrs. John Kepford and her sister
Miss Etheline Tillett, left last Monday
for California and were in q wreck en-
route. Every car left the track, the
