DROWNED WEDNESDAY NOON
Boy Falls Into Hole Filled With Water
at the Corner of Walters Meat
Market and Is Drowned.

A sad and unusual accident oc
CURED here Wednesday noon when
the young son of Mr.. and Mrs. l.,
Piazza was drowned in hole over
the water works pipe at the corner
of Walters meat market. The
body was recovered shortly after |
O'Clock by the father of the boy.
Mr.. Piazzi conducts the saloon
adjoining the Senate hotel and the
family lives upstairs. The boy,
who was two and a half years old
had been playing about the house
and on the street during the fore
noon, as was his custom. At about
II O'Clock the parents discovered
that he was missing and began
searching for him, inquiring of
neighbors and visiting all places
where the lad was known to play.
They continued their search in
vain, and not until a few hours
later, did the father think to drag
the hole i'll which the boy lost his
life. When last seen the boy was
dragging a small pan with which
he had been playing. The pan
was found living a short distance
from the hole, and this was what
prompted the father to explore the
hole While there were no eye
witnesses to the accident, it is
probable that the boy fell into the
hole while playing on the pile of
dirt taken therefrom, and as it was
about four feet deep and full of
water, he drowned. 1t is thought
the lad ieIl in shortly after II
O. o'clock, at the time when people
are at dinner and the streets are
deserted. The hole was dug Tues
day afternoon for the purpose of
reaching the service pipe to Wal
ter's meat market. Wednesday
morning the place was dug still
deeper, striking a leak in the pipe,
which filled the hole with water.
Besides the parents a Young
brother mourn the loss of the son
and brother who met such an un-
timely and tragic fate. The fu
neral was held Yesterday forenoon
from St. Mary church.
