DEAD FROM BLOW ON HEAD.

Special to the Tribune.
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.
