An accident which resulted fatally at Columbia Farm, Fox Creek (West. Co.) Wednesday afternoon when little Burton PETERS the 5 year old s/o Frank PETERS, sustained injuries which resulted in death yesterday afternoon. The lad, who was a bright little fellow, was playing in a heavy truck wagon. The hostler started the team to proceed to another part of the farm and had not proceeded far when he heard the cry of the child and on looking back saw the unortunate boy lying on his back on the ground, he having tumbled over the side of the wagon and the wheel passed over his body. He was picked up and carried into the house and Drs. Bourque and McCully summoned. He fell into an unconscious state but subesquently recovered his senses and appeared quite bright. Peritonitis set in, however, and resulted in the little fellow's death.
