On Saturday morning Mr. Stump’s daughter, Miss Mary, got a bucket of boiling hot water te do same cleaning up about the house. She placed the bucket on the floor “of the kitchen. #The little boy was play- ing about the kitchen and in some way fell backward into the bucket of hot water. The bucket was upset and the hot water struck the little fellow on the back, terribly scalding him from the shoulders to the hips. The child suffered terrible agony, and everything possible was done to allevi- ate his sufferings. He went into con- vulsions several times, until Monday morning when death resulted. When the little fellow’s clothing was remov- ed from his body the skin peeled off on places on his back.

They were fishing one of the Seven moun- tain streams and struck a pool which seemed to have side boards on it to hold all the trout. Jim made a cast and so hungry were the trout that two of them struck the bait and Jim land- ed both, and the strangest part of the tale is that neither fish was hooked, both having fastened on the bait and preferred landing in the basket rather than let the other have the worm. Frank's story varies somewhat, He caught two trout at one time and had but one hook on his line. The trout were biting fast, one caught the hook, which passed through the mouth of the trout and made connection with another trout through the gills. Both fish were pulled out of the stream dangling from one hook, and safely landed. For the day’s sport they got about forty fish each. wmetmm——t———— Wreck Victims Baried, The three victims who were killed | in the wreck on the Snow Shoe rail- road by the engine going down a bank, were buried on Sunday.
