  A fatal accident occurred in Queen on Wednesday of last week.  Samuel 
Weyandt, son of Zacharia Weyandt, rode his father's horse to water and 
took with him his little brother, Lester.  On their return the horse 
was frightened and three both boys to the ground, the younger falling 
under and striking his head.  The child lived about eighty hours after 
the accident and retained consciousness almost to the last.  The family 
is almost distracted.  He was aged 3 years, 1 month and 15 days.
