A Sad Accident

Dr. Trigg of Lovell was here Monday and told the writer of a very bad
accident on Friday last.  It seems as if Mrs. Frank Horack had been washing
and had sat a vat of boiling hot water on the ground when the two little
boys Master Ernest aged four and the brother aged seven were playing when
the littlest boy backed into the water scalding him almost into instant
death and from which he only lived four hours afterwards, being immediately
taken to the doctors office but no medical aid could help him as the shock
was too great, and he died a little while as stated above.  The elder boy
was also badly scalded on the arm in trying to extricate the younger child.
The accident is indeed a sad one and the afflicted family have the
tenderest sympathy of all the community.  Mr. Horack is the blacksmith at 
Lovell.
