By some means, the bean lodged in the child's lung, attending physicians said. Pneumonia set in. Only a part of the bean could be removed, and physicians now fear for his life as the result. The child was playing with the bean. He probably swallowed and in some manner it became lodged in the lung, the physicians said. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Jones; who live near Erick. The parents brought the child to the hospital early Sunday morning. - Daily Oklahoman. We are sorry to state the little one died at 8 P.M.

Garrett until Tuesday 2:30 P.M. when funeral services were held at the Baptist tabernacle conducted by Rev. S. N.
