Burnham, August 20. - Charles A. Leeper, 9 years old, is dead here from an injury sustained on Saturday when his older brother Ivan accidentally hit him on the head with a stone. The blow left no mark nor did the boy feel any bad effects from it until several hours later; even then the parents thought his illness due to eating green apples, but when he fell into a deep sleep they summoned a physician, whose efforts to wake him proved futile.
