Foiir-Year-Old Son of C. F. Felt Drowned
One of tbe saddest and most distressing
fatalities that this communities had ln

son of Mr. and Mrs C. F. Feit. who re
side on the street aUove the court bouse
souare.' lost his life by drowning. Tbe
little fellow left his home some time be
fore the noou hour to go, as bis mother
supposed, to meet some neighboring
playmates, as be had frequently done be
fore. Not returning at dinner time I
search was begun, and the alarming dis
covery was made that the little fellow
had not been seen by any of the .neigh
bors. The premises were quickly search
ed, aud tbe lifeless body of tbe child was
found by the horrified father in an exca
vation on tb rear of the lot some rods
from the house. The excavation was
about . five feet deep and bad been
made some time previous and left uncov
ered. The rain of the day belore bad
filled the bole nearly full and a thin scum
of ice bad formed on tbe top. It is
tbongbt the lad bad gone there shortly
after leaving the bouse and was playing
on tbe ice when it broke through and be
was drowned. Tbe shock to tbe fund par
ents aud friends over Ibis distressing ac
cident can belter be imagined than ex
pressed. '
