A Sad Accident. - The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Folse, of Salsburg 
plantation, will be shocked to learn of the death by drowning of their 18-month-
old son, Eugene, Jr., the sad accident having transpired at about 3:30 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon. It seems that the little fellow was playing about the house 
with his hobby-horse, and subsequently strayed out into the yard, where there is 
a large open iron tank used as a drinking trough for horses and cattle. Noting 
the absence of the child after a while, Mr. Folse made a search for him, and, 
after looking through every room in the house, went into the yard, where she 
found the little fellow lying at the bottom of the tank. Every effort to 
resuscitate the unfortunate child was made by the frantic mother and the other 
members of the family whom she had immediately summoned to her assistance, but 
to no avail, death ensuing with in a few minutes after the body had been removed 
from the water. The tenderest (sic) sympathy of a wide circle of friends and 
acquaintances goes out to the heart-broken parents in their visitation of 
sorrow.
