On Saturday a little girl of Frank OULTON, age 3 to 4 years, was playing in front of Alfred TRITES' house, Mountain Road, where the child and her mother live with the grandfather, Mr. TRITES., Mr. Oulton being absent in the States. While so engaged a team owned by Edward KELLY, loaded with timber and driven by Mr. Kelly's son, came down the Mountain Road towards town. Before the driver was aware of it, the child was under the wagon, the wheels passing over her body and killing her almost instantly. She lived only about ten minutes. The remains were buried Sunday 2 p.m. in the Rural Cemetery - 'Moncton (West. Co.) Times'
