Young Boy Pierced Through Breast

Alvin 13. Owens, a ten year old
eon of A. D. Owens, who owns a
small aawmiil on Silk Creek, near
here was instantly killed Tuesday
afternoon about two o ’clock by a

Tho boy was playing around the
mill, and ns his father who was
rui ning the edger, pulled on the
rope to raise the feed to star' some
pieces through, a 2x4 caught in
one of the saws and was hurled
backward; the rear end o f it strik
ing the boy, who was standing bock
of his father, just ovoi the light
nipple, and tore its way almost
through the body and partly broke
throught under the right breast.
He was (licked up and they started
to carry him to the house but be­
fore reaching it he was dead.
The boy was a cheery, bright lit­
tle fellow and took great interest in
evetything going on. Mr. Owen’s
and the Wheeler bo vs whose father
was formerly interested with Mr.
Owens in the mid, have all been
brought up around the mill, and
have never suffered any serious ac
cident before in all their years

have caused them trouble. Alvin
seems to have been paiticulurly un­
lucky, if it may so he called. A
year ago he broke his arm, and
this spring a horse kicked him and
broke bis other arm in two places.
