CHILD AND PARENT INJURED AT SAME TIME Falling Tree Kills Baby Girl and Fractures Father's Skull. Little Mabel L. Bronson, tho thir teen months old daughter' of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Bronson, of Bay Park addition, was struck and Instantly killed by a falling tree near the fam ily homo yesterday afternoon, under peculiarly distressing circumstances'. Tho little child had been playing around the yard, and In somo man ner fell and bruised her head. Child like sho ran crying to her mother, who sought to sootho and comfort her. The little girl continued weep ing and tho mother carried her out into tho yard, where the father was at work clearing the lot, hoping to distract her attention from tho slight hurt which sho had received. In a little time the father had tho baby crowing and cooing with laughter. While they wero talking and amusing th ebaby, one of tho trees which was being burned in tho work of clearing tho lot swayed and fell directly In tho mother's, path way. Ono of tho largo limbs pro truding from tho treo struck tho child on the hend with such forco that the baby skull was crushed like an eggshell, killing the little one al most instantly in the mother's arms. Another peculiar feature of this unusual accident was that the trunk of the same tree fell outwards with a great snapping, and striking tho father on his head, cracked his skull and knocking him unconscious for somo time, and inflicting a most pain ful and serious wound. Tho mother escaped with a few slight bruises on ono wrist and somo minor scratches. Dr. Mlngus was summoned and dressed tho father's wound, which, while serious, may not bo necessarily fatal. Tho only witness of tho accident was Dan S. Orr, who was working with Bron osn clearing the patch of ground. Ho saw tho treo starting to fall and called out a warning, but too late to save tho unfortunate victims. Mr. Bronson Is now lying at the homo of Mrs. Orr In a precarious condition. Tho Bronsons havo removed to Coos Bay recently from Idaho and purchased property In Bay Park addition, which was being cleared preparatory to building a home. Tho mother Is almost crazed with grief over tho tragedy and double affliction ' which bears so heavily upon her with its burden of sorrow and anxiety for the llfo of her husband. Tho sym pathy of the entire community will go out to her In her dark hour of sorrow and despair. It Is understood that Mr. Bronson used most of his means in making payment on his property, and this accident will bo a serious ono for them in a financial way. ATTEMPT TO KILL COUPLE AT SPOKANE Q.
